What do Americans fear most about universal healthcare?
>>
>>72301043
Its moral implications of slavery, how it changes society's perception of the role of government into a care-taker, how it uses people's taxes for taking care of other people, which is not right, how government is incapable of providing good, efficient healthcare, especially to a populous of 3.5 million people, etc.

It wouldn't work for our society. We are a multicultural country with a population of over 300 million. It may work for homogeneous countries with ~50 million people, but definitely not ours.

Morally how? How does morals have anything to do with governance in this situation?

>>72301681
"rights" in American case law mean the citizen is entitled to the service, when government's guaranteed rights are more passive than active. If you're a healthcare worker not upholding the contract between government and citizen, the ire is directed at you.

>>72301043
why does this stupid thread keep coming up? Foreigners can't and won't get why our healthcare is the way it is unless you want to examine and understand our society as a whole. For us its not a "on-off" switch of government spending like putting up a goddamn streetlight.

It's never been proposed as universal. Obamacare was a Frankenstein that supposedly made healthcare affordable for everyone. What happened was that everyone who had insurance already (the majority) had higher premiums and deductibles and worse coverage. Rx costs weren't reduced like they said. My premium went up 43% last year and my deductible increased and I had less plan options. Furthermore the public exchanges were collapsing or in conservatorship as healthy people who didn't had insurance were willing to take the tax hit and the people who joined were much sicker than had been estimated.

if you make just shy of half a million dollars, you're "rich" here. Which isn't a lot, considering the income gap between the middle class and upper middle is 10^-5 the size of the gap between upper middle and upper/top.

Those people basically run the country so those that can afford their own insurance vote to keep their taxes down. "Fuck you I got mine" mentality. Any driven businessman is in this just short of half a million dollars club so they're obviously not interested in paying for others healthcare in addition to their own. A multinational corporation will just leave if you put taxes on the absurdly rich, so yes, America is owned by corporations. There you have it.

Spenditure. If you don't have free healthcare, you have to actually pay upfront for it either through an insurance or by yourself, as you don't get free healthcare that's payed by the collectivity of the tax payers.

Pfizer isn't the one fucking it up. Look at other large countries, would you want medical treatment in Brazil, Russia, India or China?

Also, Wwe pay so we don't have to wait and I can get arthroscopic surgery immediately instead of having my skull removed or chest broken open in 3 months.

I'd pay a small amount if it meant the minority of Americans with no insurance got Russian tier healthcare but don't make me pay drastically more so I get shitty healthcare too. The Republicans should have let it collapse before monkeying with it.

I do, that's precisely why we can't adopt the model of the rest of the world, and why you can't see why we trash your country when its the millionth time we've heard of it. The irony is lost on you if you can't see why we're so different and why universal healthcare has many roadblocks that other countries don't have.

According to the annual report on health insurance coverage from the Census Bureau, the uninsured rate dropped to 9.1%, down from 10.4% in 2014. The number of Americans without insurance also dropped, to 29 million from 33 million the year before.

seems to not be true desu

>>72302769

You don't wait months. You wait weeks at best. The chart is misleading.

What is 3rd world tier is not being able to do the surgery at all. Like in America.

Even those that do have a fear of the government running it more than the idea. Social Security is a train wreck pyramid scheme, Medicare needs suplimentals unless you want to live like a resident of a former Warsaw Pact country, Medicaid prefers to just drug the poor so they shut up (not even kidding I've gone to doctors that had partners who took Medicaid patients).

>>72301043
As I understand it, but it should be noted I'm not an expert in politics nor medicine:

1. Eroding freedoms as a result of trying to lower public healthcare costs.

Obvious example: banning cigarettes or sugar because they make people use healthcare resources too much.

2. Higher taxes in general

3. Losing pace in healthcare innovation.

When compared to other countries, Americans already pay a disproportionately huge amount of money for healthcare. In return, Americans theoretically have access to the best care on Earth (as long as you have enough money, that's why this is only theory for most Americans). However even so, for how much Americans pay, healthcare should be twice a good as it is if you look at the rate other countries pay.

This outsized cost is not only supporting innovation in the United States though, but also in the entire world. American inventions and practices spread all over the globe, often at a much cheaper price for other countries because equipment and pharma companies already have recovered the cost of their research just from US sales alone. In this way, the world's healthcare is being subsidized by the private medical industry of the United States.

Public healthcare would either have to pick up this slack, or it's mere existence would slow down progress in medicine for all humanity (and certainly for the US).

I couldn't possibly comment, but my observation is unrelated to it.

Healthcare isn't just a straight issue. From what I understand, it is more of a major issue of Federal vs State. They'd need to be a serious cultural change up for a single healthcare system to work.

Hell, the CDC I believe doesn't even have direct control over the hospitals during a crisis. They are only able to advice at the local level.

The idea behind universal healthcare is solidarity: we all pay a little bit extra so we can all have healthcare coverage and overall the country becomes healthier, more productive and the costs of healthcare become lower. This means the rich will be expected to pay proportionally more than the poor while the poor benefit, but this is justified under the favorite buzzword of the left: solidarity. Solidarity is achived thruogh religious, national or cultural unity. To name an example, the early Christian churches were a lot like communes, and from the Middle Ages all throughout the days of our grandparents churches were not just houses of worship but also community centers where social life bustled and charity was handed out (coming from tithes). Everyone was okay with this because they all felt unified in Christendom.

This explains why in the 60s and 70s universal healthcare flourished in Europe: Europe was overwhelming ethnically homogenous and being ashamed of your country was only a starting trend rather than the utter mainstream. People were willing to work together. Compare multicultural, diverse and tolerant America. There universal healthcare does not mean "Americans pay a bit extra so all Americans can enjoy good healthcare". It means "Honest, hardworking Americans are taxed so we can finance thos spics and their anchor babies?!". Keep in mind that four US states already have a latino majority with highly dubious loyalty to America, a lot of them being illegals to boot.

The problem is that ethnic, religious, cultural and linguistic diversity breaks down social cohesion (ie. "solidarity"). Conclusion: you can be multicultural, you can have universal healthcare, but you cannot have both. Such a system requires A LOT of societal trust and A LOT of trust in government institutions, both of which are broken down by diversity.

They also have a borderline totalitarian dictatorship obsessed with rewriting history to make it appear as if there has always been a unified, homogenous China in one way or another. That MIGHT play a big role. Or who knows, maybe I'm just stupid and having a totalitarian dictatorship where the opinion of the commoner dosn't matter doesn't make forcing socialized healthcare on the population easier.

Actually though, Scandinavian countries have very very little regulation on business, in fact they have some of the most free market economies in the world which is only possible due to homogenity and a high degree of social trust where you can be secure in companies being honest and not doing shady stuff to enrich their shareholders.

If it's really size that is the problem, then the solution is incredibly simple: regulate it at a state level. The biggest and most populous state is California with 30 million inhabitants. That's about half the population of France, a country America often compares it healthcare system to and the country that had up until a few years ago the best healthcare system in the world according to the WHO (I think currently it's the Netherlands) at a much cheaper prize per citizen than America. If it then appears that some states are lacking in funding (I imagine it's much easier -on paper- to get everyone healtchare in economically active New York than in the backwater that is Alabama) simply use an equalization system à la Canada.

But it's not size (alone) that's the problem.

This thread is about the supposed virtues of the universal health care. So any country that has it is totally expected to chime in. Also, there are a lot of things in common between our two cunts. You really fail to see the logic here?

Your argument is made even worse by the fact that Canada has a higher life expectancy while paying less per-capita for healthcare than the U.S.
Longer wait times don't make that fact any more of a preferable situation to the current one in the U.S. Ask anyone with little access to healthcare here, they would much prefer the ability to not go bankrupt over accidents and disease even if it meant long wait times. What a shitty talking point you're trying to shitpost.

Sorry to break you little bubble, but that's simply not true. I remember paying a month's salary for medical care back when I made less than 10k a year and had no insurance, and I've always opposed canadizing our medical care. You know some poor americans actually have pride, right?

Go to a small down in America where a lot of people are making under 20k and talk to them. A lot of them have more dignity and a higher sense of personal responsibility than you realize, city-boy.

Because your current administration certainly isn't currently setting the course straight for the brick wall of authoritarianism, gluing a brick to the accelerator and ripping the steering wheel off the column.

Actually it is overdiagnosing and check box type diagnosing in general is very stupid idea and will always point out some condition, since it leaves normal traits out and only takes expectional things in account. We have alot overdiagnosing too and mistreatment for them. This is common in all welfare countries.

Our current administration is an embarrassing shit show but it has nothing to do with the argument about uhc vs private insurance.

I am not in favor of a single payer healthcare system solely based on the fact that the majority of humans are fucking stupid. An infinite amount of money is going to be wasted on people with non-existent disorders (autism, ADHD, fibromyalgia, thyroid issues, etc...) or disorders stemming from voluntarily fucking ones self up by being sedentary/overweight/inactive

I am not going to support a system that pays for these retards to continue being retards. Fuck them. I'll do what I think is right and pay for myself. They can do the same

I was responding to the point about authoritarianism suddenly somehow being a "cultural shift" when the republicans have been steering they country in that direction for decades. Trump is just a symptom, an extreme one, but a symptom, of a conscious effort towards oligarchy.

Have you even ever been here?

No, people voted for him because they saw (R) after his name and because elections in the US are about tribalism, not politics. What they tell themselves to rationalise it is inconsequential.

1) he claims trumps actions shows us that there is a cultural shift towards authoritarianism

2) he shows that the reason he believe trump was elected was not because of an authoritarian cultural shift, but just a general American ignorance and tribal mentality. So.. we can dismiss the idea that a cultural shift towards authoritarianism is what got him elected or has made him popular

3) therefor we can conclude that trump's actions may not be tied to any cultural shift that he was implying trump's actions are tied to, he's just talking out of his asshole and wants to argue with everything even if he invalidates his own points.

He's clearly not well informed, he just wants to be an argumentative idiot.

It's more about the consumer than the doctor. I personally think that anyone who doesn't buy health insurance (in the US) is an idiot. That doesn't mean that the government should force you to buy it (what Obamacare did). That was the first thing that the government forced everyone to buy, and goes against many American's philosophy of what government should be empowered to do.

why do foreigners care so much about domestic American issues? I cringed a lot when Trump and his crew were talking so much about Sweden, because its none of our business what they do internally.

Bad. The lucrative private sector aspect of American health care effectively subsidizes drug R&D for the rest of the world.
