Just get an NHS, oh wait Americans don't want taxes and would rather get fleeced when they stub their toe.

The irony is that the monthly insurance premiums that are paid are higher than the taxes would be.

AND double the tax money per year for health, gdp adjusted.

As far as I’m aware, they already have a buttload of taxes capable of paying a healthcare service. Why don’t they have one already? Lobbies.

I wanna see lobbies suffer the same fate as the lobby from The Matrix.

It’s pure greed. Most good working systems in Europe work with sub systems, where you pay a fee to use that sub system. If the US government created his own and regulated the current insurance providers people would be far better protected. I believe in free market and capitalism as any sane person, but healthcare isnt something to be explored like that.

The bourgeois "lobby" versus the proletarian "ground floor".

They would have to spend like 1% less on bombs per year so that's a no go.

[-] Noughmad@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago

Actually, with less money going to healthcare profiteers, they would be able to spend more money on bombs.

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

Aw fuck guess I'm anti-healthcare now then
