In the US prices are extremely high

It would be even higher if we had universal

Not really i know a plan that is $60

Diabetics have to skip insulin doses because insulin costs so damn much

GG @Andrew_Hunter, you just advanced to level 7!

Not if you have insurance.

If we implemented it, we Americans would need to be paying 62% more dollars in income taxes

Taxes is already pretty bad

The taxes alone would cost us as well.

Universal health care is not free.

@Make America Great Again many people can’t afford insurance

Also a lot of doctors would leave the health field

GG @sarge, you just advanced to level 1!

If you don't have a job sure if you do then yes.

@sarge taxes are the lowest they’ve been since the 1920s!

Doctors would be making less and quality at hospitals would decrease

Where do you live

California

That explains your views

It depends on where you live

I live near chicago

Taxes are bad

Not every Californian is a liberal

If we get universal healthcare in US, my family wouldnt make enough to sustain itself

Taxes also cost money. It would be better just to buy a plan which is cheaper here.

62% more taxes on income. Thats like more than half of your paycheck gone to healthcare

Is it really that worth it? No

@sarge Medicare should be allowed to negotiate prescription drug prices to keep them low

Thats what I want, but having free healthcare is fantasy

@Andrew_Hunter which will lower the doctors pay as well as the amount of money research america has for medicine.

Drug companies do rip us off on the cost

The prices of prescription drugs these days are just downright unethical

We also have a group of people who take care of that.

Look at Skrelli and congress.

I believe the government should regulate the prices of medicine. But universal healthcare is a socialist unreal fantasy

The USA is different from tiny European countries.

True and we have much more infrastructure

I don’t believe it’s acceptable for thousands to die every year because they can’t afford medical care

Ok but universal healthcare isnt the solution

They can they just don't want to fork over the 60 bucks a month for it and aren't smart enough to get health care at 18
