bern will continue to claim that the nations with UHC are more expensive than the US, even though that has been proven to be untrue. For some reason that bern refuses to explain, he continues to argue that we can't afford to pay less for better health care
And he has to lie again about the premiums in UHC nations (ie "They let the citizens pay what they think is fair")
You keep saying I continue to claim. So please cite for me where I EVER claimed that other nations health care is more expensive than ours.
You have claimed that Frances health care system is "unsustainable" due to the cost, while arguing that more expensive systems (such as ours) are less expensive.
I am debating a wingnut. You are incoherent. One minute you're complaining that people are getting health care they can't pay for because they govt pays for it. Now you're complaining that people aren't getting free health care. That's what happens when you argue both for and against "govt solutions"
And I'm debating someone who is clearly not interested in what someone is saying. You would rather attribute positions to people for the convenience of your argument. In UHC countries it is true that people are not paying what the resource actually costs. If they were there would be no deficits.
That's hilarious. After I repeatedly proved that a budget deficit is not debt, you're going back to your nonsense that the DoD had to borrow money to cover its costs.
UHC nations pay for the care in full because, as you pointed out, doctors don't do it for free.
That's a little vague and misleading. When you say nation, do you meant the nations's government, it's citizens, who EXACTLY is paying less?
The answer is "Everyone".
If you don't understand this answer, tell me which word you don't understand, and I'll post a link to dictionary.com
So your contention then is that every free market option has been tried and failed? Can't wait to see proof that.
No, my contention is that you're such a liar that I won't believe anything you say unless you can prove it.
So prove there are other free market options that haven't been tried by posting one example.
Yes, everyone. By reducing the profit of health insurers
I am very sorry you don't understand basic economics and business relationships. This is just plain wrong and shows you just don't know your facts. FACT health insurance profits margins are in the single digits, so lets' pretend for a second those profits went down. Given they're in the single digits already you honestly believe that the builder of an x-ray maching is going to see that, charge a hospital less to buy one, so a doctor can bill the insurance company less to use it? You really are smoking some good stuff, aren't you. It's a lot of fun watching the ridicilous crap you're forced to tell yourself to make your argument fly.
So what if their margins are low? You seem to think that executive pay and advertising are free.
Ahh, love the way you promote "govt solutions" to provide care to the poor. Just a minute ago, you were all for that. But now, once again, you're against "govt solutions"
There's nothing funnier than a liar who can't keep track of his lies
I have never claimed it's an all or nothing solution. I have never claimed every aspect of health care must only be provided by the free market. NEWSLFASH dip shit, a lack of reading comprhension on your part does not translate to flip flopping on my part.
Actually, if you were honest, you'd admit that you have argued that private solutions are ALWAYS better than govt solutions. I'll even quote you saying it:
Private business is simply more efficient at effectively deliverying service than government is.
