Your reading comprehension is terrible. I told you none and then I explained what would be better. However, you being a greedy little shithead doesn't want to hear about a form of government that can protect individual liberty.
Your ad hominem hysteria aside, you essentially launched into a rhapsodic rendition of "If I ruled the world."
I prefer to deal with reality, not your personal fantasies that are divorced from the practical matter of actual governance. Your ideological dogma is irrelevant to the cogent matter that all the other most advanced nations on earth are democratic and have achieved virtually universal coverage of their citizens at an average cost that is considerably lower than that of the United States.
Don't be so pissy. Appreciate your enjoying the benefits of living in America.
The reality is that we live in a welfare state where the filthy government steals money from productive people and gives it to welfare queens and that is despicable.
Most people on Medicaid are working poor. Same with food stamps, unless you count seniors.
I don't give a shit. It is their responsibility to pay their own bills.
Using the government to steal money from me to pay their health care bills is nothing more than common thievery and it is despicable like all thievery.
These stupid people elect Liberals in government and everything gets fucks up including the cost of health care and then they wonder why things went wrong.
The best way to not be poor is to stop electing Liberals to government.
You are already paying, dimwit. That's what cost shifting is all about. You are paying for the chronically ill and the million dollar premature baby.
I have already explained to you that if cost sharing is voluntary like in private insurance then that is fine. A person has a choice.
A fucking welfare state where the government steals money from productive people and gives away to greedy shitheads is not fine. That is thievery.
Do you even know the difference? Even after it has been explained to you?
No cost shifting is NOT voluntary. Do know what it is?
Hospital pricing: cost shifting and competition
The issue of cost shifting has taken on enormous policy implications. It is estimated that unsponsored and undercompensated hospital costs--one measure of cost shifting--has totaled $21.5 billion in 1991Hospital pricing: cost shifting and competition - PubMed

You are really dense, aren't you?
I said it was fine if it was voluntary. The fact that it is not voluntary in too many cases is to be scorned and ridiculed.
Pull your head out of your ass.
It's never voluntary. It never has been. The hospital raises rates to cover the uninsured.
