but some people still have morals and ethics and respect freedom and perfer to be responsible for our self's like real men and women do.who pays for your subsidization ?
But you don't actually pay for you own health care. The other people in your insurance pool pay for your care, as you do theirs. Nor will you be paying directly for the development of a COVID vaccine, for example. Rugged independence is just pablum you've been fed since birth.
Like I said the government isn't making any vaccines.
It's a race and the first company to get one on the market will cash in.
Some vaccine research is being done by tax funded universities.
Indeed Oxford looked like they had the first viable vaccine but they have hit some roadblocks.
And those universities cannot compete with big pharma.
When a vaccine is out it will not come from some public university.
Many vaccines have been developed by universities and indeed with COVID vaccine many drug companies are working with universities to develop the vaccine as they will manufacture it.
University labs are joining drug companies in the dash to develop coronavirus vaccines and medications.

don't fool yourself the money is coming from big pharma.
and it will be big pharma that makes and distributes any vaccine for Covid
Funding is coming from everywhere, most of the research funding is from universities even with government grants, but Big phrama and small pharma too (all companies globally are racing on this one) are cooperating.
One thing I do know is every Aussie will get their vaccine much cheaper than Americans if all other pharmaceutical prices be our guide.
my vaccine won't cost me a dime because I have very good health insurance. Way better than the ******* government can provide
LOL.
That was the laugh of the day.
Your premiums are paying for it.
At much higher cost than universal insurance.
That is if your policy even covers it as all universal insurance and the PBS in Australia does.
My insurance premiums aren't that high and I get better coverage than the ******* government can provide.
And yes my insurance covers vaccinations with no copay.
Why you people think the ******* government can solve all your problems is beyond me. I for one wouldn't trust any corrupt asshole of a politician as far as a 5 year old could throw them
and your coverage isn't free even if you're dumb enough to think it is. You pay for it via higher taxes.
The average American's insurance premiums are
$474 per month according to the AMA.
The average Australian's is 88$ per month on the taxed levy.
We get better results in health care than the US in every category except breast and prostrate cancer treatments, and there we are close.
Our wait times for GPs are shorter, critical surgery the same and in most elective surgery not that far behind. (Except hip replacements)|
Our PBS buys and subsidises drug prices, on almost every drug we pay two thirds lower than a US consumer.
Drugs are lower here because the government is the main insurer so has far more bargaining power with drug producers and can drive down the price where as the drug companies loot American private insurance companies and the consumer because in a fragmented insurance system they simply do not have the same bargaining power.
