universal libNazi health care would cost about 10 times what free market care would cost so on balance would do a great deal to further impoverish Americans
Based on the experience of every country with UHC this is not true. So on one hand we have facts and on the other we have your understanding of reality. I will go with the facts.
LOL...Countries using UHC are going broke trying to keep them running.
And the quality of healthcare is suffering because of it.
Their quality is comparable and in some ways superior while their costs are significantly lower.
The US pays way more than any other country so we should have better results here and there like we do. That doesn't mean our system isn't horribly inefficient.
So explain to me why canadians come to the U.S. for critical care?
I've seen first hand how the canadian and european healthcare system works...it doesnt.
The US spends a lot more than Canada per person and the US has a lot more people than Canada. There are also Americans that go to Canada or other nations for care. There are many in the US that simply go without.
Your understanding of the issue is clearly limited. The US has very good high end care. We spend way more money than other nations to get it but at the same time we fail to produce results for everyone. This leads to a healthcare system that produces worse results overall for the population while at the same time costing significantly more per person.
IF you have a certain type of cancer you may or may not be better off in the US depending on your ability to pay for that care.
BTW in some nations with UHC there are actually better markets set up for choosing care options. So if you actually care about market economics UHC may be the better option.
