Current Events > A Right winger reminding people that we need universal healthcare

(+) Yeah! (+)

The US already spends enough per person on medicare, VA health care, etc. from public spending to fully fund a health care system for every person in this country in terms of a per capita rate of health care expenditures compared to Canada, the UK, Australia, etc.

What we are talking about isn't tax increase, its a culling. Its a culling of all the leeches that are bleeding 300k a year salaries because. "Because". Its a culling of administrators. Its a culling of advertisers for drugs and medical care. Its a culling of salesmen for healthcare. We already are spending the money on government provided healthcare but we just need to cut the fat. We could slash our national healthcare spending by a third, switch to a single payer system and still have the best funded healthcare system on the planet per person or in total spending by a thousand miles.

I hate our current health care system and I do mean hate. I've felt rage. I've felt like burning shit down.

Got it

There's a decent capitalist argument for universal healthcare, just by virtue of eliminating that fiscal drag from the rest of it.

"Cadillac insurance" is doing vastly more damage to profits than a UK or Canada rationed system can ever accomplish.
