"basic" healthcare shouldn't BE expensive.
All you need is an improved app to replace a general practitioner, and most drugs should be a lot cheaper than government subsidies and corporate protectionism allows them to be. You don't need a hospital bed for most things. An ambulance ride shouldn't realistically cost 5000 dollars.

And where do you think the wealth of the rich comes from?
The banks (decreases credit risk by storing wealth)
Interest rates (banks not making money if there is less money stored)
Investments (Stored in major companies, like Walmart, Apple, Microsoft, Google, etc.. that do a lot of the major hiring)
Spending (Rich people buy stuff)
Property (Rich own property, manage and maintain it. If people without wealth buy property, they can't afford to maintain it)

Wealth is necessary for a society to function. You can't borrow (you SHOULDN'T borrow, at least) money without some source of wealth in the background.

>>133844490

Do you think that money will eliminate these problems?

No. Money isn't wealth, like I said. You can give everyone a million dollars, and nothing will change. The only reason the 1% seem to have so much money, and everyone else seems poor, is that the dollar has lost a lot of value as a currency of trade.
If you just take all the invested money and drop it to the bottom, the majority of it will be wasted on stupid shit (like drugs, alcohol, trinkets from China, consumer goods that have no resale or investment value) and the prices of real goods will soar because of the increase in money.

Adding tons of money into the system isn't going to eliminate poverty. Wealth isn't something you can just go out and spend. Being wealthy doesn't mean the rich have a lot of spending money, they are simply invested. If you took the investments away and gave them to the Government, we wouldn't be any richer. Everything would be the same, and we'd continue to jump into debt.

The fact is, society as it is now costs more to run then it's worth. If we don't cut back on Government spending and consumers lending, we'll go bankrupt really soon.

>>133843730
Drugs and equipment develop faster in the US than in all other nations combined, and it's precisely because of the profit motive that they do it.

By the way, treatment would be cheaper in the US if two things changed:
1. People paid directly for their care.
2. Countries which import American drugs stopped using their market access as negotiation leverage.

Here in the UK we can't get access to many newer cancer drugs because our government bars their importation until our NHS can buy them at rip-off prices.

Eventually the drug companies cave, and Americans are stuck with the bill for all the R&D.

This. Regardless of all factors, wealth inequality, corruption, war, etc the only thing that reduces poverty and increases quality of life for everyone is increased gdp.

If the economy was truly healthy, people wouldn't be bitching so much about the 1% and the necessity of some form of socialism/social welfare.

This desire for Universal Health and increasing minimum wage doesn't come from fellow man's desire to improve the lives of the poor, it comes from the average man's desire to get back to the statues quo their parents lived in.

The US Government is $19 trillion dollars in debt just trying to maintain the "status quo", well it talks about how the Economy is recovering.

If people try to force socialism on an indebted society, it's going to be a disaster. Our debts won't be written off, they'll come out of the sales taxes, the food prices, the gas prices, the rent.. everywhere banks are invested.

You have no idea how much figures on healthcare spending are muddled with. Here in the UK, our NHS lobbies the government to prevent the approval of American drugs until the drug company sells at well under market value.

Ambulance ride is not $5K, the day in the good hospital is $10K. It has nothing to do with doctors, doctors don't get that money, it's the racket. The current system is mostly based on fraud, that's why the costs are out of control and exponentially growing. Most Americans think muh doctors, but doctors are not getting most of that money. It's insurance companies, and fraud. In the end this system will collapse and we will go government based healthcare, which given US government's record will be worst than NK healthcare. Most burgers don't understand that. Our defense spending is the same shit.

>Where do the people who want free basic healthcare think that money is going to come from?
The cost savings of universal care.

The USA pays just a bit under double what Canada pays. While delivering only partial care (even with the ACA) to most people.

The outcomes for almost all life threatening illnesses are without single digit percentage points, while life expectancy is slightly higher in Canada.

It's the economy of scale and the economy of coverage rather than the economy of billing. In the state of New Hampshire their are more healthcare administrators than the nation of Canada while having about 1/32th the population.

The US private system is 32 times less efficient that government run healthcare in that metric.

~

Not only is Canada better at delivering healthcare per dollar spent that transfers over to businesses that don't need to spend as much on expensive healthcare packages for employees, making those businesses more efficient.

Give up their medical coverage branches and focus on other insurable sectors.

>What about their investments and debt? You would destroy the economy overnight by putting health insurance companies out of business.
Their investments don't go anywhere. They just lose a portion of their potential income streams.

All those premiums you pay for insurance? They are all used directly for investing. The money they use for policy payouts comes from the return on their investments.

If you cut all healthcare premiums and all healthcare payouts the insurance companies would lose no profit and would simply grow slightly slower.


>Not to mention the US tax system couldn't fund the insurance system without managing healthcare prices, which means you end up in a Canada situation, where Doctors are over worked, under paid and no one wants to be a doctor anymore.
Doctors are overworked and underpaid in the US. Everyone in the world is overworked and underpaid because that's how you get easy efficiencies out of workers and businesses.

One of the big issues in the USA is the lack of knowing the price. Absolutely nobody knows what a gallon bladder removal will cost until after the fact.

And I get each case is different but they could start with: the doctor charges this, the OR costs this, these are the typical drugs, and a two night's stay is that. It just doesn't exist. I have seen some places post like insane "averages" for knee surgery or shit that have no logic in getting to that price.

Imagine if you went into an Apple store and pointed at a laptop asking the price. They have no clue and tell a bill will be sent later that you must pay. They'd not sell much I imagine.

Notable
> The report also found that the cost of health care is on the rise, increasing 1.6 times faster than the average income.

1.6% interest in investment from an insurance company is reasonable, a private company could technically sustain itself by investing additional income to offset unexpected price increases.

On the other hand, a universal system, like Canada, would get demolished if a new Aid's-like disease rapidly spread across the country. We would just go further and further into debt.
>>
>>133849288
>You understand there is consierable investment there?
Yeah but none of it goes away if the premiums from insurance stop.
They have already made those investments.

>That money isn't just sitting in a bank, it's wealth. It's spread out over the economy.
It's invested all over the economy. Some of it is in banks or rather as loans to banks. Some is stocks. Some property. Some direct partnerships.

>The investments die, because there's no guaranteed income anymore, there's no interest rates. It destroys the financial sectors health insurance is invested in.
No it doesn't because health insurance investment directly competes with all other insurance investments. This just removes a small portion of the insurance companies stream of investment money. It also removes a small portion of their insurance liabilities, and cuts all the administration costs.

>"Money" isn't wealth.
Money isn't the only form of wealth, but it is wealth.

>So let's make more inventive to hire doctors?
The doctor's in the US operate under a guild practice to keep membership low and wages high. The AMA creates the high work load with limited manpower on purpose.

It's a fact. As a percent of GDP Canada spends just a bit under half as much as the USA. Yet delivers care that's almost identical in terms of outcomes.

Also their are huge savings from preventative care that are not realized in the USA to the degree they are in UHC systems. In the US system it's in the interest of healthcare providers to have people get sick with highly profitable illnesses. In UHC the exact reverse is true.

It's about cost structures, does marginal cost rise over quantity or drop?

If marginal cost is falling, it's more efficient to have fewer firms produce all the things rather than many firms producing all the things. Healthcare insurance has substantial fixed costs (licencing fees, infrastructure etc.) as well as higher risk selling to only a few customers, a much more consistent return and therefore profitable return is gained by having all customers go to one firm instead. At the same time health insurance companies have a tiny marginal cost, the additional cost to put someone on a healthcare plan is maybe a few dollars spread out over many many people.

Therefore it is more cost efficient to have only one firm and that firm can either be a single private monopoly or a government insurer. Government insurer is preferred because private monopolies can jack up the price w/o competition. Therefore universal healthcare is the cheapest.
>>
>>133849889
>Yeah but none of it goes away if the premiums from insurance stop.
Yes it does, because they make money and investment it. Other companies invest that money. If they income stops, their investments stop. Money gets spent, and it does not return. Therefor, other companies have to make up the difference by borrowing at a higher interest rate, or increasing prices to increase their wealth.
Money is not wealth.

>It's invested all over the economy. Some of it is in banks or rather as loans to banks. Some is stocks. Some property. Some direct partnerships.
Yes, and if the companies fold, they'll take it out of the economy, pay of their loans, pay off their employees, and close shop. Billions in investment will be withdrawn overnight.

>No it doesn't because health insurance investment directly competes with all other insurance investments.
Investments don't compete. They are invested.

They large parts of companies. You can't just pull this wealth from the Economy.

>Money isn't the only form of wealth, but it is wealth.
Money is a currency, it's a form of trade. It's not wealth. Printing money doesn't make people rich. Taking money from people and giving it away doesn't create wealth. This is just going to create more inflation by converted invested wealth into cash. The wealth, itself, has to come from somewhere. Generally in the form of prices or time.

Money is a form of ownership, bonds are a form of ownership. National debt is bonds, money is decided by financial elite. The end goal is always ownership. Money is nothing but paper, you can wipe your ass with it, it's some people who decide how much money is worth and it's 1 phone call that can say credit rating should be dropped, but it still wasn't dropped for USA, because USA owns all credit rating companies, so they devalue money in Amazon so farmers cut trees for bread and overvalue land in casinos, big cities where they have their financial structures.

If you convert ownership of an invested (something that gives return) into money (something that is spent, and does give a return), you are destroying wealth.

Money is a form of wealth.

>Yes, and if the companies fold, they'll take it out of the economy, pay of their loans, pay off their employees, and close shop. Billions in investment will be withdrawn overnight.
That's extremely unlikely, also the point of insurance companies is that they make money on their investments.

They would fire their insurance side employees because they are unneeded. But those investment side employees would stay because they would still be making investments with the returns their past investments are still making them. As well as other aspect of the insurance market. Healthcare insurance companies are the same as property insurance, auto insurance and so on. Yes they are broken into different legal groups but they operate under the same corporate structure

>Investments don't compete. They are invested.
What? That's nonsense. They compete with what they invest.

>You can't just pull this wealth from the Economy.
It's not removed.

>Money is a currency, it's a form of trade. It's not wealth.
It is wealth because it is accepted for good and services.

>In a Universal healthcare system, it depends on what public healthcare can afford, not what their union agrees too.
Has nothing to do with letting the AMA set the standards for doctors, rather than a simple objective standard.

>They can buy healthcare, if they need it. They can buy an iphone if they don't. Not all work is equal.
Healthcare is a cost of employers having employees.
Don't like it? Fuck off. You also need to pay for worker education, worker protection (military and police) a legal system and so on.

Exclude any of those demands of workers and your consumer base and worker base vanishes.
>>
>>133851429
>I don't disagree with your reply to me but none of what you said contradicted my case. Yes healthcare costs go up as do most things with inflation. The costs are still lower under one rather than many providers.

Because providers also make a profit, so health insurance companies can afford to spend more and prices can increase.
But this is also related to supply and demand, and the money supply. Costs are going up, because dollars are risky with current US national debt levels. People don't want to hold onto money, they want it invested.

There's also massive risk of people getting healthcare who are going to cost up to $1 in treatment for preexisting conditions that health insurance companies in the US are forced to take on.

Then there are the things I agree with Ben Shapiro on. The market needs known prices and competition.

>>133851004
Money, bonds, loans are just forms of ownership over goyim. Money has no value without people putting value on it, there is no magic fairy dust on money, it's the financial people who decide how much it is worth. Investors and money don't create anything at all, people create with their hands, their machines. It you that decided to enslave yourself with loans so you need investors. Why do you need loans? Because firstly they don't give you enough money, secondly they raise the prices so you can't buy it easily. Somebody decided that people should be enslaved, so some can have everything while others nothing. We could have a system where we wouldn't need money. You could say somebody who works 2 hours can buy a sammich, somebody who works x number of time can buy this and that from somebody else who makes this and that. Money is needed so elites can exist, money logically isn't needed at all.
>>
>>133851689
>You seem to think investments are money pits you throw money in endlessly rather than sources of money. They get back more than they put in. That's the very basic of an investment.

It is a money pit. If companies don't make money, they spend the invested money and you lose money. Investment is only valuable if a company can make return on your investment. If companies don't have invested money to spend, they can't invest as much into their products, and they compensate with increased prices or labour costs.

>Money is a form of wealth.
It's part of wealth. Money is a currency of trade. Having money is only worth what you spend it on. Taking all the money in the world and spreading it around won't make people rich or wealthy, it will just give everyone the same handful of useless money that everyone else has.

>That's extremely unlikely
Look at the housing bubble. When people pull investment money, it breaks shit fast.

>They compete with what they invest.
They invest to make money, not to force competition. Indirect consequence of investment at best. They most likely invest in the competition as well, investing in an industry in it's whole.

>It's not removed.
Insurance companies with no profit will remove their money. They have debts to pay.

>It is wealth because it is accepted for good and services.
It's desired because it's not abutment. If you create an abundance of currency, people will just expect more currency for the goods and services.
>Healthcare is a cost of employers having employees.
Yes, it's a benefit they can pay for. Or not pay for.
Don't like it? Change jobs. Take a pay cut and get health insurance instead. Eitherway, you are already paying for it.

>Exclude any of those demands of workers and your consumer base and worker base vanishes.
No, it just moves overseas where they will work without healthcare for a fraction of the wealth.
>>
>>133851716
>Money, bonds, loans are just forms of ownership over goyim

They are wealth, I agree. But if you take away wealth from the top and spend it, you will quickly kill all growth.

Giving everyone money isn't going to make people rich, it's just going to print a lot of money. Costs will increase quickly to match. If you try to take all the wealth from the elite, all the invested money, you are just going to create massive hyper inflation, and prices are going to quickly increase because banks/corporations/farms needs to regain their lost financial support.
>>
>>133852576
We don't need to take wealth from top, we need to kill the top. We don't need money at all. Do you realize how many useless jobs we cut from existence if we remove money? All those loan makers are money people, they shift money, increase prices, don't produce anything all in reality, they just jerking around. If we would remove money we would live a much happier and cleaner lives, since you would work for some time and then could buy certain things. Now you can work and work and still can't buy things, while the top makes more in 1 day than you in entire life. Why would you even discuss anything with people who clearly steal money and control the financial system? Democracy is retard. We should be killing them one by one, change the system, not trying to reinvent the wheel.
>>
>>133851704
Still not sure where you're going with the first para. Only really responding to "Universal Healthcare saving money is a joke.", which it's not. It's empirically cheaper and the economic theory I explained shows why.

preexisting conditions exist but the extra cost of that risk is benign if you spread it over the whole population. Especially young healthy people who don't usually buy insurance.

The market does need prices and competition and in industries with a rising marginal cost curve I agree. But certain industries have a tenancy to face market failure and health insurance is one of those industries along with the police and the fire service that is simply cheaper and more cost effective under one firm.

Again, killing 10 people isn't going to rebalance the economy.

You'll still be poor. This is why socialism fails. This is why communism failed in Russia

Money isn't wealth. Rich people don't consume much more resources than the average person, but they are heavily invested. They are wealthy.
If you kill them and divide up what they own, you'll get pennies and kill all growth from it.

Loan makers make loans under the assumption that you'll invest the money, and in return make a profit and pay them back. If you just write off all the loans, you'll get the same problem. Trillions of dollars worth of cash injected into the market via write offs, prices will sky rocket.

You being a poor fag is caused by you being poor. You are not worth anything. Killing rich people and handing out cash isn't going to make worthless plebs rich. The countries economy won't change. The leaders will have more, and the poor will have less. Instead of having 100 worthless dollars, you'll have a million worthless dollars.

Spending all our wealth really fast isn't going to make our lives better. That's why you are supposed to save up and buy something.

So we shouldn't reinvent the wheel but reinvent the wheel by killing those at the top of it and instating a system which rewards those for working over those who do not.

This is literally our society as it stands today, just that some whose parents worked so hard
that now their children don't have to work.

So what's the problem commie?

>It is a money pit.
The whole point of insurance is that people give you money and you invest it making money on that investment. With a large enough pool of insured people you have a very steady money flow from premiums and a steady outflow of coverage you pay out.

As a smart insurance company you rig it so that in is always more than out and you invest the difference. Over time the amount of money earned from being invested is earning you vastly more money than your insurance premiums.

>If companies don't make money, they spend the invested money and you lose money.
Well then you are shitty at the investment side. Many companies make all their money only on investing money. Insurance companies just happen to have a means to constantly collect money and a constant smaller outflow.

>Having money is only worth what you spend it on.
Yeah I'm sorta assuming that we are talking about having an economy to work with. Able to exchange money for goods and services.

>When people pull investment money
No money is removed. Premiums are not returned to the insured if the company stops offering insurance.

>They invest to make money, not to force competition.
Investments are competition. Different investment banks, insurance companies, funds and so on all compete with each other to earn the most money for the lowest risk.

>Insurance companies with no profit...They have debts to pay.
Their profit comes from investments.

>The whole point of insurance is that people give you money and you invest it making money on that investment. With a large enough pool of insured people you have a very steady money flow from premiums and a steady outflow of coverage you pay out.

That is correct. All of the money is invested, it will be removed from the economy to pay off debts and assets. They will also stop injected future capital, which means businesses will need to find other ways to get investments, either reducing labour costs or increasing prices.

>Well then you are shitty at the investment side. Many companies make all their money only on investing money. Insurance companies just happen to have a means to constantly collect money and a constant smaller outflow.

I'm not talking about insurance companies. I'm talking about companies they invest in, normally big companies like Google, GM and IBM.

>Yeah I'm sorta assuming that we are talking about having an economy to work with. Able to exchange money for goods and services.
But the economy is the goods and services, not the money. Giving someone more money doesn't make the goods better or services better.

>They will also stop injected future capital
No. It's just one aspect of the insurance market. It's not going to end any real noticeable amount of investment.

Which make money by selling goods and services. Some borrow money to expend and some do no. They are not going to suffer any meaningful way if the healthcare insurance market goes away.

It's all quite easy...

You introduce another pre-tax withholding along the same lines as social security. You have employers match that amount and they still spend less this way than they currently do paying for health insurance for their employees.

You can save Social Security for the next 100 years by simply raising the taxable cap to 250,000.

There you go. Everyone pays in. Employers pay a share which is still less than what they pay now. Social Security can pick up any slack for the medicare trust fund.

Massive impact because of the already existing problems in the economy. They can print money, hand it to rich people and keep the prices stable a little longer, but everyone will just become a little more poor as a result.

>Which make money by selling goods and services.
Money doesn't make an economy. Goods and services do. You can trade goods for services. You can trade goods for goods, you can trade services for services.
Giving people money isn't going to give people more goods and services. If the supply of goods and services is bad, then it will remain bad even when there is more money.

The economic problems in the US are related to access to goods and services, not wealth distribution.

>Maybe not, but efficiency by reducing waste is a good thing.
It doesn't decrease waste, it creates more Government bureaucracy. You are just taking wealth from a business and letting the Government spend it all, quickly.

>Why? They are literally making money from those investments.
Because they no longer exist. They will sell their investments, kill the stock market and close their doors. They will not convert into investment firms.

>I'm saying UHC is more efficient than private healthcare so you can lower the amount people pay and get the same service by changing the structure.
And I'm saying that implementing a UHC system into a economy already established for a private system will kill off billions in wealth, cause massive bureaucratic backlogs and chaos, and create a massive unrepairable mess that will cost tax payers trillions trying to sort it out, while investors start fleeing Healthcare
