In Canada, I went to the ER because I had an abscess on my tonsils, turns out it was peritonsilitis, a symptom of strep throat. Had to get it lanced and drained. All I paid for in the end was $30 for anti-biotics.

The US system truly baffles me. People would rather everyone around them die than contribute a marginal amount of their income tax to a single payer system.

I wonder if people like Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan wonder how history will examine their legacy 100 years from now, if they are truly proud of what they have accomplished, and if they even care.

lol we could fund a huge chunk of subsidized healthcare just by cutting NEW defense projects and fixing up our old military poo poo

we wouldn't even have to cut military hiring much either - we'd just have to suffer with still having more aircraft carriers than the rest of the world combined but like, maybe no new ones for a while?

americans hate other americans as much as they love themselves. if you were to send 300+ million individually addressed letters to all of america saying "we're going to give you free healthcare for life but don't tell your stupid neighbors because they aren't getting it" you'd get overnight support for UHC

eh, our education system is in loving shambles too

you shouldn't have to be many many tens of thousands of dollars in debt to get an education that only lets you get a basic-rear end entry level job either

i'd say if we could actually find a way to use our massive amounts of tax dollars in a way that put ordinary peoples interests way further ahead than they are now, we'd be one of the worlds best countries. financially we have the potential to be an absolutely amazing country but our populations is loving brainwashed

Trump is going to repeal all healthcare, then a year later he will implement full socialized medicine.

That is how he will make America great again.

We could probably pay for UHC/single payer just by taxing assholes like Romney and Trump the same 20% that middle/upper middle class pay. Probably many times over.

But instead lets lower the taxes on the rich by 7 or 10 percent, get rid of the estate tax, and also ensure that they all become incorporated and no longer have personal income so they can take advantage of the 15% business tax rates.

I remember I was in Malta and my wife hurt her foot so we went to the ER. The doctor kept asking about if we had insurance and when we were going back to the US and I kept trying to get him to understand that it was OK, we had insurance. I finally realized he wasn't worried about how we would pay. He was wondering if we had insurance, because if we didn't he was going to get her a bunch of X-rays and MRIs there where it was going to be about 50 euro instead of getting bankrupted in the US.

So you know, Malta feels bad for us.

Ironically, doing his job "well" should be easy as gently caress. The republicans have full control of the house and the senate. His job should be sitting back, signing bills into law, and taking credit for everything. But unfortunately for Trump, the same tea party morons that voted him into office also filled the house and senate with retards who have absolutely no idea how to do their jobs.

People talk about the added cost of single payer, but it really is much simpler than that. Imagine this: All the billions of dollars that go to private health insurers... go to the single payer system instead. Done. Paid for. No taking it out of the military, no raising taxes on rich assholes, the money is already there. In fact it would cost us less because private insurers have an overhead of around 16% while Medicaid and Medicare's overhead hovers around 4%. It would cost doctors and hospitals less as well because they would need less staff to process billing as the whole process would be vastly simpler. Plus a single payer system would be in a much better spot to negotiate with healthcare providers and drug companies. There really is no reason not to do it this way other than the "S" word socialism makes people nervous.

Haha socialism doesn't make people nervous, it makes them gurgle tribalistic nonsense about places they've never been and the type of decency they only know as a prelude to theft. And yet, LOL, their paranoia only makes them more apt to be taken by conmen.

Truly, the deepest LOL we can know is found in the fact that, despite reaching the very stars themselves, we are, nevertheless, still a nation of uncivilized rubes.

The United States of America, the self-proclaimed greatest and freest democracy on earth and the world's dominant and later sole superpower that has been dominating and shaping the world for the last 70 years not only elected a literal retard for president because his ratings in reality TV were so great, they also gave total dominance over all branches of government to a party so comically evil that they just voted to consign thousands of Americans to a painful death and millions more to decide between health and abject poverty, only to celebrate the passing of that bill with a serving of ice cold pisswater swill right there in parliament. Now America's only hope is that everybody involved is too dumb to actually follow through with that (which isn't even that farfetched a hope), while a significant part of the American populace - invariably those that would be hit the hardest by those legislative measures - cheer these same death cult politicians on in blind fanaticism.
