Ah, why doesn't this country have free healthcare? Because nowhere has free anything. One way or another, it's got to get paid for. What are you talking about? Millionaires and billionaires should pay for it, like they do in Europe. First of all, the US already has the most progressive tax rate in the world if you look at the share of wealth atop 10% half compared to how much they pay in taxes, and we're still massively in debt. Ah, then why don't we spend that money on healthcare? We already do. Medicare and Medicaid cost taxpayers 1.37 trillion dollars in 2021. And we still don't have Medicare for all? We literally can't afford it. Medicare for all would cost an estimated 36 trillion over 10 years. That's roughly 75% of the entire federal budget. We would have to nearly double taxes or print trillions more each year to pay for that. And we all know what that does to the economy. That's ridiculous. If that were true, they wouldn't have single-payer everywhere in Europe. They don't. They, huh? Yes, they do. Not really no. Truly single-payer systems are somewhat rare for the reasons I mentioned. Most European nations actually have hybrid public-private healthcare systems. Places like Germany, Lichtenstein, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and several other countries all have private insurance systems alongside their public options. And even in the UK, over 10% of the population pays for private insurance so they can avoid the high-weight times and sub-par service they experience with the national health system. Ugh! The US healthcare system is definitely far from perfect. We already have the fourth highest per capita government spending on healthcare in the entire world. And it's nothing like the laissez-faire free market a lot of people think it is. The government limits the number of new doctors who get trained in license each year. It manipulates and controls prices for drugs and medical devices. It restricts what services can be bought or sold. And regulations like Certificate of Need actively prevent the construction of new hospitals. All these things increase the cost of care without improving quality. So there's a lot we can fix about our system without spending trillions of dollars we don't have. Ugh, whatever. If you love government control so much, why did you leave California? Come closer.
