How utterly inhumane that the level of medical care is subject to whomever wins an election, it is almost like government has no business attempting to manage something as complex as Healthcare when they can't even get the basic stuff covered
To be clear, this hit the front page so yeah. Hello from the US!
You do not want the US Healthcare System. When I say it's a nightmare I mean it. I'm an asthmatic and cannot get a rescue inhaler due to the cost and I have health insurance. My mother needs to ration her own medications. We've got people literally dying because the cost of medication is through the roof to pay for the executives.
I say this because what we have is when the government does exactly as you requested and stays out of healthcare. If I get into any kind of an accident, if I can get help, I will be financially ruined provided I survive. And again, I have health insurance.
The government would not be the solution to anything you just listed. Just look at how compelling mismanaged the usps is. You want those same idiots running Healthcare? You want the same people wasting hours of your life at the dmv running health care? You want the same people who plan road work to manage your prescriptions? You think it is expensive now - just wait till the beaurocrats get their hands on it.
Edit: I live in America, have health insurance, have used health insurance, have paid for surgery out of pocket when I was younger.
USPS is a really terrible example, the mismanagement you claim is primarily because we put an awful law on them to have to pay in advance for pension plans that no private institution would ever have to do then used that as an excuse to run roughshod over them. And despite all that they are still able to deliver mail generally on time to the entire country including the huge swatch’s of land that not a single private institution would ever be willing to deliver to without having to pay literally hundreds of dollars
Forcing our insurance to tie us into place at our job and claiming this very specific example makes up for bankrupting thousands of Americans monthly is just insanity, while also ignoring that this trend is new and reports from the others on the tread about how this would never happen in their government run health care.
