yes, really

2019-09-16 20:49:49 UTC  

"Medicare for all" also includes regulation of big pharma

2019-09-16 20:50:03 UTC  

Though, that can be done without "Medicare for all"

2019-09-16 20:50:04 UTC  

The government forcing someone to have an abortion in a government run healthcare system isnt a result of that government run system?

2019-09-16 20:51:25 UTC  

Doesntmakesensetomebutokaybro

2019-09-16 20:51:51 UTC  

Weez by what metric are you determining it is cheaper?

2019-09-16 20:52:08 UTC  

what part of "option" is not getting through to you?

2019-09-16 20:52:12 UTC  

Fiscal cost per capita.

2019-09-16 20:52:45 UTC  

In your current system, larger groups get cheaper rates for insurance.

2019-09-16 20:52:53 UTC  

A country is THE largest group.

2019-09-16 20:53:29 UTC  

How do you square that with the previously mentioned cdc report?

2019-09-16 20:53:36 UTC  

Got a link for that?

2019-09-16 20:53:40 UTC  

5 trillion doesnt sound cheap to me

2019-09-16 20:53:40 UTC  

I'll have a read through it

2019-09-16 20:54:22 UTC  

Here's something for you to have a look at, while I read that report

2019-09-16 20:55:52 UTC  

100 million people with diabetes would cost another 1.5 trillion to treat

2019-09-16 20:56:08 UTC  

Regulate the drug companies, make the drug costs lower.

2019-09-16 20:56:09 UTC  

Easy.

2019-09-16 20:56:11 UTC  

Adding to our already 3.5 trillion spent on healthcare

2019-09-16 20:56:15 UTC  

Like the rest of the West does.

2019-09-16 20:56:36 UTC  

Stop allowing stupidly long patent durations for drugs.

2019-09-16 20:56:50 UTC  

Allow more drugs to be declared "generic"

2019-09-16 20:57:25 UTC  

Its also why we have more medical cures developed and a better cancer survival rate

2019-09-16 20:57:31 UTC  

These are policies which also go with "medicare for all"

2019-09-16 20:57:42 UTC  

Regulation and price control kill research and innovation

2019-09-16 20:57:47 UTC  

Sure, but you have millions unable to afford healthcare.

2019-09-16 20:57:53 UTC  

Millions buying drugs abroad.

2019-09-16 20:58:28 UTC  

And many abroad coming here for major operationd to avoid waiting

2019-09-16 20:58:39 UTC  

Well, well, well.

2019-09-16 20:58:49 UTC  

Who could have guessed a profit orientated healthcare system could be bad.

2019-09-16 20:58:51 UTC  

we also have millions buying the latest iphone instead of saving for financial emergencies

2019-09-16 20:59:02 UTC  

There's 210 billion saved.

2019-09-16 20:59:18 UTC  

There's 19 million people, who no longer need to break the law.

2019-09-16 20:59:21 UTC  

To access drugs.

2019-09-16 21:00:00 UTC  

And there's the USA lower on the HAQ index than European countries.
