How can Americans pretend to be so capitalist and shit and not even know how insurance works?

It's fucked up.
>>
>>134829700
The answer is by lowering taxes. The reason why healthcare is so expensive right now is because people without insurance end up going to the hospital and in order for hospitals to recoup they have to charge outrageous prices for basic services.

If you give everyone access to healthcare, prices drop and the cost of healthcare drops. Instead of paying $500 a month for shit healthcare, you pay less. There's a reason why other capitalist countries have gone this route.

Really high taxes. The current government funded healthcare system is so far in the red with unfunded liabilities on top of the debt, it will need a massive cash injection to get it back on track.

Import tax would be ideal. Although I would advocate a revenue-neutral import tax - use that tax revenue to eliminate the income tax for the bottom 80%. Take away funding from the Military Industrial Complex and shift it to infrastructure and human services. Make friends with Russia, let them worry about the Mid East if they want to. Also, deregulate the health care industry so there can be lower costs. Let trained army medics work in ERs for example and set up lightly regulated alternatives to the private medical education/certificatios cartels

why are americans so selfish? thereis no sense of communityin america.

it's the most selfish, individualistic shithole I've ever been to. everyone is out for number 1, nobody cares about anyone else

the worstpart of all of this is their family unit. it's like they don't even care about eachother, they don't even visit their relatives, they let their parents rot in nursing homes, even in boyfriend/girlfriend relationships it's all about 'getting sex' from the girl, while the guys gives the woman money and gifts basically

what a shithole honestly, I've never been anywhere where people care so little about eachother. they genuinely would rather their felow countrymen literally die, than pay a few extra dollars a week in taxes

always cracks me up seeing white nationalist groups try to get startedin the usa. it's impossible. competely impossible. americans simply do not care about eachother

From tax dollars. Wit single payer, you get the (((insurance companies))) out of the healthcare system.

Here we have 11% of our GDP spend on healthcare and everyone is covered, and in the the United States of America you have 90% covered, and spending 18% of GDP on healthcare. And guess what, our life expectancy is higher than yours.

But then again, Americans love spending too much money, especially when the recipients are Jews. Trumps Jewish dream team will do nothing about it unfortunately.

Libs are controlled by rich people. So are Conservatives. The difference is who they partner with.

Libs partner with poors, offering them the chance to vote themselves half of middle class people's money. Not of rich people's money of course, surely you're not dumb enough to think people like Bezos support liberal causes thinking it will cost them money. Poor people are willing to burn down the entire middle class of the US because they don't have the talent or work ethic to join it. By destroying the American dream for the rest of us poors can make their rape fantasies of being persecuted in a land of haves and have-nots come true, and spare themselves the feelings of inadequacy they get from living in a land of tens of millions of people earning a good living, while being unable to do so.

Conservatives partner with the middle class to protect them from the poors willing to burn it all down. The conservative rich people are therefore less evil than the liberal rich people who are the ones aiming to essentially enslave everyone else into a system of subsistence living and 'free' healthcare, ie being treated like livestock.

From taxes. The private system is not working, nor has it ever worked. Before Obamacare you guys bitched about how every ill-problem wrong with healthcare was from pre-existing regulations that need to be deregulated. Now that you guys are in power, you have trouble with getting your own party to agree with scaling it back. We had a free-market up until the very onset of modern medicine, which explicitly requires regulations to work. It gave us neat things like "humorism" and other ineffective psuedo-medical practices and beliefs.

Yup.

The government could literally fund itself without any taxes. Priting money is only inflationary if used for non-productive things. Like if you build a million dollar bidge that results in multimillions of new economic activity or cost savings, the bridge spending is not inflationary, even if the money for it was printed out of thin air. Money is just a tool for coordinating labor and resources, it is created out of thin air anyways by the (((banking system))), its just a question of what we build and who, if anyone, gets the (((interest payments)))

Healthcare costs are high because minorities and illegals aren't paying bills. But under universal healthcare, those two groups still aren't paying the bills.

Taxes aren't tied to residence here, but citizenship. I think we're one of the few countries that have this. Meaning where as Norwegians can legally move abroad and they're not subjected to Norwegian taxes to the country they move to, here you still will have taxes applied to you if you're generating income in America but have your residence overseas, unless you officially denounce your American citizenship (which is a lengthy process to do). So they can move overseas and try to denounce their citizenship, but they're going to miss out on having access to the world's most largest and advanced economy and will face a bunch of legal trouble if they still have private enterprises located and functioning in the US that's gaining them money.

Under universal healthcare you increase the penalties for not being enrolled in healthcare (even cheap ones) and fine minorities / illegals if they choose to not participate.

Fuck being the worlds police, we need to take care of our own first and let the world rot, see how bad it is without our constant influence. Maybe then other nations will appreciate what we are capable of doing.

Look faggot, all of these leftist utopia ideas are absolutely impossible in America today, you know why? Niggers, Spics, Sand Niggers, and Kikes. Remove this problem and you will have a society of people who actually care about their families and their people. I'm absolutely FOR nationalized healthcare if the above takes place. That is the difference between you and us (you aren't fooling anyone with your republican flag you fucking faggot), we understand that these things are good in a society that can actually facilitate it, you stupid fucks think it's possible with all these shitskins running around and kikes running the show.

We really aren't that different, it's just that we are realists and you faggots think IQ doesn't matter and we can have open borders AND universal healthcare. Get fucked.

From tax money obviously. The current healthcare system we have is completely inefficient and as a National Socialist I believe it's a Nation's duty to care for its people. Unfortunately, nu/pol/ won't agree since they're unable to correlate minority status with abuse of necessary social services.

It probably depends on how you define quality. Cutting costs would probably mean treating certain diseases less aggressively and changing end of life care. Aggressive treatment of diseases, like certain types of cancer, is arguably counterproductive because tests like mammograms have really high false positive rates. Aggressive treatment and false positives for breast cancer mean that an untold number of women have suffered through painful medical procedures to survive a disease they never had. Other cancers like prostate cancer and lymphoma are examples of slow developing cancers that, in many cases, wouldn't be directly fatal to elderly people because the person is already at risk to die from something else. Is it worth putting an 80 year through chemotherapy when he is likely to die from heart failure soon anyways? End of life care at hospitals is pretty disturbing because the last few months a person is alive aren't really spent "living". When you see a 90 year old terminally ill patient in a hospital bed who is only kept alive by a breathing tube and an iv drip, then it's worth questioning why that person is still alive. Hospice or home care for the terminally ill would be significantly cheaper, have a higher quality of life, and preserve human dignity much better.

It might not be the quality of medical care that would have to change, but the better question is the quantity of medical care that needs to change.

Taxing those richer than them
>inb4 the rich will leave
Ideally, they would be taxed at a rate where the economic maximum benefit would come from staying in the US (Ex. US tax rate 35%, next lowest country is 40%)
It's not really difficult, they've been saying it for years. The problem is that the idea is fundamentally un-American

One of the problems is the income of doctors/ surgeons etc, due to price fixing/ gouging etc is monstrously high.
You're just not going to be able to reign it in. And if you don't keep it inflated,you won't attract people to the roles.. it's a vicious circle, really.

The idea that people that can't buy their own food or pay their own rent will suddenly have $500/month for insurance is laughable. So what happens is the govt will cut them a check to pay their premiums and reimburse their co-pays and no the money won't just come out of thin air.

Everyone knows urban ERs are hellholes but at least they're relatively contained. Once offer a free service to a bunch of people with no jobs and no prospects they will take advantage of it. "Going to the doctor" will be the most productive thing they do all week.

Americans simply aren't wired to responsibly use things that are free. We will wait in line for an hour for a free $1 chicken sandwich ffs.

The notion that introducing millions of people to a system with no means to contribute will magically lower prices because they suddenly have an insurance card is fantasy. It defies that basic law of supply and demand.

You have a good point. Here in Australia we have universal healthcare and costs are spiraling out of control because of the perception that it's free. Contributes to over-taxation and dangerously high public debt
>>
Haven't we spent billions of dollars on the war in Iraq hahahaha?

Like we couldn't afford socialized healthcare.

The only reason we don't have socialized healthcare is because politicians are bought off by people in the insurance industries.

Tax payers + price ceiling on medical costs.

You realize every time you go to urgent care, the facility is making like $500 an hour for nothing right?

Cost to.run an MRI for instance, in terms of electricity is about $50. A monkey can run the machine and it takes under a half hour so tag on maybe $30 for technician time.

$80 of cost and they charge $10000 for it. There's your fucking problem. Insurance isn't even needed if the government decides healthcare is a human right and can't be done for profit (meaning they charge the cost of performance and technician salary and that's it).

Check and mate, faggot.

Leaf posting from Japan. The problem with the Canadian system is you get situations like we're now seeing in the U.K. With baby Charlie Garb where the state has absolute power over your life. For scraped knees or a broken bone, it's great. But when you have a serious life threatening condition, the doctors can weigh your treatments as being not cost effective. As in, if your chances of recovery are below a certain threshold, so they won't spend taxpayers money. You can't even pay the difference out of pocket or with a private plan. You're just fucked.

t. Mother had metastatic breast cancer and had to flee to America for treatment after leaf doctors told us to put her in a hospice. With superior private treatments, she stretched six months into three years. The leaf doctors were right in the end, but it shouldn't be their right to tell people not to try to save themselves or loved ones.

Yeah but you need planes to go out and do things too, so aicraft carriers. And then carriers usually need escorts for total protection so you need cruisers and destroyers. And then those also need logistics ships so you have these big fat tankers. And then... etc
