???
Though this is from 2016
That’s for Medicare expandions. Not all-around universal healthcare. Only 1 in 10 Americans support UH if it gets rid of private insurance plans.
One sec, got a phone call
Convenient
also Weez that split on the dem vs republican is pretty hard core
Sorry about that, I'm back
Do you have a link to that survey?
1 in 10 can be 97% if you ignore enough people.
here is the article I think: https://thehill.com/hilltv/what-americas-thinking/428958-poll-voters-want-the-government-to-provide-healthcare-for
Christ, this website is terrible
No dates of publication or editing..
the poll is at the bottom though
"This survey was conducted online within the United states from February 1-2 2019 among 1,001 registered voters by HarrisX
First issue there.
it's not great but indicative. Also, the poll is racist, they had 5 times as many whites as any other race!!! kek
It doesn't really explain its methodology either.
Because random polls should be ignored. Which is why the census is still important as it can give real information.
They have a lot of issues with organisations that don't agree with them?
When the largest employer is the government I can understand why people think that.
Pew is pretty much the gold standard.
Personally I think there's a case to be made for the government at least ensuring that one medical emergency isn't going to put a hard working person (or family) into crippling debt.
I also agree that social safety nets are a good thing, so long as the potential for dependancy is minimized (and believe me, I know a bit about dependancy issues).
Crippling debt is like what makes you American.
American health spending per capita is much much higher than other 'rich' countries in the West. Yet Americans have a lower life expectancy than the majority of those countries
If you visit that page, you can see some further reading and information on the abysmal state of the US medical system.
Just under the chart time-scale bar.
The question is, why are these other countries able to provide better services at a significantly lower cost per capital.
Because of debt and they don't pay as much for national/international defense.
one is they artificially lower the cost by putting price ceilings on drugs and procedures
^
They also have far more 'generic drugs'
Which are, drugs that no longer have patents on them and are in the public domain.
which gets into the patent law I mentioned before
Such as, cetirizine hydrochloride
Yeah, you're completely right
Sounds like otter pops but the ones in walmart that are strangely near the radiator and transmission fluids.
