You can’t pay what the medical and pharmaceutical world charge, you sell your house and become a burden to your kids or live on the street or just die. It’s the American way.
Our white supremacist resident will make sure the minorities get the shaft on Single Payer, regardless of the system. non-white, non-Christians will get the same deal they get on all the other legislation coming out of this white house.
CDHPC2, take a look at WHO reports on healthcare to see how much cheaper universal care is with better results – every other industrialized nation has some form of universal coverage resulting in a healthier populace. Your claims are “conservative” propaganda. Ask Sarah Palin, her family to her to Canada for healthcare when she was a child.
@CDHPC2 – you need to look at the data on cost per capita. In fact, Americans pay FAR more for their healthcare than anyone else in the world due to our broken system (and the ACA is an improvement over previously), AND fail to cover everyone.
How much more expensive is the US system? Well, #2 (the UK) costs 50% less than ours, and they have far more “socialized” medicine than we do.
Rather than claiming that we would need “confiscatory taxes” – a demonstrably nonsensical claim in the first place, given that the last I looked people still own their homes and property elsewhere in the world – we can look at actual data and realize that single-payer OR another solution could SAVE us a ton of tax money by eliminating the vast amount of inefficiencies in the system. To take a simple example: every insurance company has different requirements of a given doctor. So to have decent representation, many doctors have someone whose sole job is to handle insurance claims, which is a huge burden to doctors and the system. Single-payer would wipe all that away.
It WOULD be nice is America FINALLY moved into the 21st Century as far as Health Care Coverage is concerned…instead of staying in the 18th, like the G.O.P. wants.
It’s hard to argue against people who don’t believe in universal health insurance or climate change. They seem completely impervious to facts. That’s too bad, because they are doing a lot of harm.
5 million families a year file for bankruptcy in the U.S. every year. This does not happen in the civilized first world countries. Republicans are keeping America at third world standards.

Stand tall Americans, join the civilized world. We can care for our people too.

All “single payer” are not the same—-nor is universal coverage always single payer. Here’s an interactive for fun and information.
