what part of "option" is not getting through to you?
Fiscal cost per capita.
In your current system, larger groups get cheaper rates for insurance.
A country is THE largest group.
How do you square that with the previously mentioned cdc report?
Got a link for that?
5 trillion doesnt sound cheap to me
I'll have a read through it
Here's something for you to have a look at, while I read that report
100 million people with diabetes would cost another 1.5 trillion to treat
Regulate the drug companies, make the drug costs lower.
Easy.
Adding to our already 3.5 trillion spent on healthcare
Like the rest of the West does.
Stop allowing stupidly long patent durations for drugs.
Allow more drugs to be declared "generic"
Its also why we have more medical cures developed and a better cancer survival rate
These are policies which also go with "medicare for all"
Sure, but you have millions unable to afford healthcare.
Millions buying drugs abroad.
And many abroad coming here for major operationd to avoid waiting
Well, well, well.
Who could have guessed a profit orientated healthcare system could be bad.
we also have millions buying the latest iphone instead of saving for financial emergencies
There's 210 billion saved.
There's 19 million people, who no longer need to break the law.
To access drugs.
And there's the USA lower on the HAQ index than European countries.
See here is the fundamental disconnect, we both agree reform is necessary but how we reform it is where the disagreement is
Because our population is high my several orders of magnitude
Also, there's the fact that a healthier population is more productive.
More reason, IMO to support medicare for all.
Make healthcare as accessible as possible, so as many people have it.
Meaning more are healthier, meaning more people are as productive as possible.
