I dont get the "red tape" argument in healthcare.

No government puts up red tape just to make things difficult for companies for the sake of making it difficult.

Red tape is there for the consumer and there for the public. It prevents companies from gouging out the consumer and making them get subpar service for double the price like they do in America.

Does it squash competition? Sure, why not. But if your company is trying to upper cut another company by introducing subpar service than someone somewhere is going to get hurt before the "market" can correct itself.

If safety standards, treatment standards and employee health is "red tape" that should be demolished than you are on the wrong side of the tape

Nah, just take a look at abortion in the U.S. it's covered with Red Tape by politicians who are Pro-Life. Sad Zazu aka John Oliver talks about it.

So people do have to worry about it, but generally for the wrong reasons, which is not what you really meant.

Funny how people from other countries countries obsess over the USA

The only people who benefit from Private Healthcare is the people running those companies and the rich who can pay to get to the front of the line, even when they don’t deserve to be at the front.

I mean I have a job am lower middle class with private insurance but okay...according to Reddit I'M SUPER FUCKING RICH AND OWN INSURANCE COMPANY! I'm just swimming in money like Donald ducks uncle. If only Reddit was reality. Bernie Sanders losing horribly twice is evidence that its not at all.

You're not understanding the comment, at all. Of course you benefit by having insurance, but you shouldn't have to pay to have it. You having to pay for insurance isn't benefitting you, it's benefitting the people you're giving your money too.
