That’s a large wait time (in bold).
The argument about wait times is completely false.
Not exactly, the healthcare system is supply constrained. Increasing demand results in higher wait times.
So we have one of the lowest in the world currently, that can change drastically with Sanders passing his plan.
Neither the facts nor experts agree with your opinion
That's all you've got - an uninformed opinion
The study I linked above seems to agree
(It also finds increased national spending, contrary to what Sanders thinks).
I also forgot to add, quality might decrease too.
**and** the fact that it’s politically impossible to pass. In other words, not realistic. But if it does happen it’ll be shit.
Even your own studies you post contradict your point
"Overall, we estimate that health care spending would increase by 1.8 percent relative to expenditures under current law,"
So, a 1.8% increase is going to bankrupt us? Lol
No it’s not, but the point is sanders claims we’ll reduce costs.
Likewise costing **less** than the current system, this precise study says otherwise.
Most studies disagree, you can try to cherry pick stuff that vaguely aligns with your point
We spend more and get less than other countries
I wouldn’t be so sure, I can provide other studies too that reach similar conclusions.
My ideal system would be a fully privatised system; deregulation and removing interference.
Are you American?
If you are, you're very unpatriotic.
If you're a foreigner, your attempts to hurt this country are well noted - good luck tovarish
> We spend more and get less than other countries
It’s much more nuanced than that lol
You can’t just say “we spend more than other countries, so lets adopt a totally different system to them”
Why do we spend more? Prime driving force is intervention such as regulation raising costs.
Another reason would be obesity and income.
The right wing solution seems to be: do nothing. Line pockets with money
Health expenditures rise with income, the US is richer than most.
Does Trump have an amazing healthcare plan? Where is it?
Well he wants to repeal Obamacare which is a good start.
Lol it's been 4 years
However his team is drawing up one
Right...drawing up one...
Obamacare is currently being struck down, a ruling on it is imminent.
My healthcare plan would be to cut government intervention - which has been the driver behind higher prices.
Do-nothing president hasn't done shit to improve our healthcare system, but you still trust the liar in chief to do something about it
Well drug prices have fallen first time in decades
So
Anything good that happens, give Trump credit. Anything bad that happens, blame Obama
