That's where capitalism doesn't work in our favor.
We need regulation.
The government doesn't decide wether or not there is competition in an market. The government wouldn't need to pull out funding if there was a company selling insulin for half the price of everyone else.
@Festive Spaghetti No, I’m not. Although the government is subsidizing it, not incentivizing it.
The healthcare system is also often getting sued, which is another reason for high-prices. I agree that healthcare needs fixed, the place it is not is horrible; but by giving it to everybody free, you will create problems, not solve them.
If you were to give out free healthcare, it would result in much higher taxes for the people and eventually complete government control
And that’s just one problem
I never said free healthcare.
When did i say that?
I said healtcare is a right but I never said that you should just be given insulin for free.
@Festive Spaghetti Wait, you don’t? Ok. That makes things much easier
The only point where you should just be given care for free is when you're literally dying.
I get what you’re saying
I don't understand why you want to pay to live.
ok good
Nobody wants to pay to live, but they would be paying for it anyways if “free healthcare for people who are dying” was implemented. They would just be paying their fees ahead of time (through taxes).
exactly.
Don’t you see the problem with that?
If you pay your dues you get rewarded for it.
but again the flaw with that is a large mounth desposited invain in case u don't need it
Exactly
But what if you don't have health insurance or what if you get denied by them? With a government run systen there would be no questions asked.
the 45,000 people who died this year because they couldn't afford medical help would have been able to survive.
wich would not have been a problem if the us would fix it by creating a system of refunding and prepaid govermental treatment plnas
That’s why the government needs to stop subsidizing healthcare and start discouraging insurance
no u should be able to retrive from the healthcare
aka its still there but have the option to take the funds back
in case it wasn't needed
@Festive Spaghetti You see, if you remove government subsidies and regulation, capitalism will kick in and people will start regulating based off of consumer regulation.
that would lead to easy corruption
One of the consumer’s regulations is low prices
Another regulation is high standards
Consumer regulation is slow and people would have to die from it and public outrage would have to insue before things changed.
manipulation of the standert market would create a easy flaw to tax them even higher by that solution @Yusa
by rise of demad the market will start taxing based of how much of it will be used
fx tissues
because ppl are greedy if they see a exploid damn well they will exploid the market
^
causing even higher economic problems
thats the thing market value changes all the time yet consumers never notice
