LizSwitching to universal healthcare would save the US money, it’s purely a corporate greed problem.
It would save the US people money.
Unfortunately, that money being spent has to go somewhere and that is directly into the pockets of the owning-class who lobby for policy to remain the way it is.
They know it would save money, and they see that as a problem because money saved is money not spent and money not spent is profits that aren’t made.
Also they don’t want to just have it good. They want to have it good while everyoen else struggles. They feel more satisfied this way.
The USA spends more money on healthcare than countries with socialised healthcare, apparently. The cruelty is intentional.
Oh, but we pay it to private companies instead of the government, so it’s better… somehow.
I hate discourse in this country.
Last I checked (which was admittedly ages ago so the numbers are hopefully different) the government itself spends 2x more (comparing %GDP not $ amount) than countries with national healthcare. So we pay the government more money for less healthcare.
No, the USA government spends a trillion USD on healthcare. For reference, the UK government spends just over 300billion USD.
Pretty based until he literally sold his soul to the devil.
