But if the government were to subsidize health care costs for every single citizen for any reason whatsoever, that just seems as much a quaint fantasy as pretending we dont subsidize at all. what part is the fantasy? I'm saying, arguing against UHC because it subsidizes peoples' health care is not an argument when we already subsidize peoples health care. At that point it is a question of efficacy and efficiency. I'm actually not clear what would happen if we covered every body. Costs go up on the front end by a lot, but costs per person go down a lot once you eliminate the costs associated with uncompensated care, unfunded mandates, and debt collection on the part of providers my totally honest answer is that I suspect we would spend more or less the same amount, but more of it would be on the federal budget and less would be on state and local governments --- It's one more thing we do to the poor, the deprived: cut out their tongues . . . allow them a language as lousy as their lives ...
