the answer is that there should absolutely be medicare for all. this shouldn't even be a debate. people in countries with similar healthcare systems would never trade what they have for what we have today or had ten years ago. but the problem is that most people are too stupid and uninformed to understand that. so they say things like ksu just said. they say that healthcare is "bizarre" but that the answer isn't medicare for all. you can't be an expert in everything but that won't stop most from pretending they are.
this latest bill is nothing more than a tax cut for the super rich that is being funded by both taking away and lessening the amount of healthcare for the poor, middle class and people with pre-existing conditions. as it is, it won't get passed by the senate and whatever ends up happening won't have much of an immediate direct effect for the majority of people on this board (myself included). the house had the chance to pass something and it did because the majority of them spent the last 8 years convincing the people who vote for them that it was horrible.
Yup, single payer (medicare for all) is pretty much the superior way to go. Canada, France, UK, Germany, all nordic countries laugh at our terrible system, and trying to provide some subsidies or credits or w/e is just junking up an already terrible system. We pay out the nose for a horrible system, and the pubs answer is to make it even worse. People freak out at "socialized" medicine, simply cause it's da gubernment. Canada still keeps pretty damn high standards, there is no drop off in emergency services, and the only longer lines are in elective items, which are elective.
Ton of cool explanations of all the different healthcare systems vs. the US on that channel. Though probably to ksu, fsd, et al it's fake news. But spoiler alert, US is basically ridiculed on vs all the others.
