How do the existence of unhealthy people prevent healthcare, can you only have healthcare when people are healthy? That seems somewhat illogical. Do other countries with healthcare not have unhealthy people?
And how does the existence of minorities prevent it, again do other countries with healthcare not have minorities?
>>488986432
Why don't they oppose it elsewhere?
And how do you respond to the people saying it is because of minorities and people being unhealthy?

>if you're a doctor and you have good skils, you move to america to make money.
not the best example, it is extremely hard for a foreign doctor to come to the US and work as a doctor.

first, the US restricts the doctor supply with the residency program, you will wait years until there is an opening. Then you will need to work 2 years as a resident for next to nothing. hope you don't starve while you wait

America has a huge obesity problem and has had it for a long time. Blacks massively have heart issues because of bad diets. Show me a skinny man in a soul food restaurant and I'll show you a man with friends who like to drag him to places. Fat friends. Fatties several times more medical attention than skinny people, and it isn't a phenomenon created by not having socialized healthcare. Canada has been suffering from the consequences of fat people run off from America in their social healthcare system for a while now, and their system in practicality is even worse than America's.

What is it exactly do you think they need to spend on that they aren't?
NATO keeps Europe in Americas pocket, if they have to develop their own security arrangement they will become a third force in the world independent of Washington and Moscow.

Other countries with public healthcare systems don't have obesity and heart problems?
Mightn't a public healthcare system give impeteus to address these problems?
>socialized
ooh scary buzzword
>>488987472
Could you elaborate, and explain why they do not oppose it elsewhere?
>>488987538
Barely 10% of the American workforce is unionized. Other countries have much higher rates of union membership, and try to assist minorities and the disadvantaged, and do not have this incompetent operation of public service + provide public healthcare.
So clearly that isn't it.
>>
>>488987654
I have already addressed "muh NATO" argument, but to further elaborate on it how do you explain Japan which pays 75% of the basing costs?
>>
>>488987916
Man, don't strawman me. I'm a state capitalist anyways, this is a conversation between 2 people who'd want the same fuckin' system. Difference is that I know it wouldn't work in America because I heavily follow dieting and exercise culture and science and I know that the amount of permanent maintenance (because fixing fat for most people isn't a one time thing or teaching them techniques because they're lazy, they need someone on their ass about it) needed to keep people skinny would bankrupt the government like the military has been doing since World War 2.

>Man, don't strawman me
Citing examples of everyone else doing it fine is not a strawman.
>I'm a state capitalist anyway
My understanding is this means capitalism under state management, surely this includes providing for the citizenry to ensure they are more productive workers?
>>
>>488988906
You did strawman me. You said socialized and accused me of not liking it because it's a buzzword. I don't really care how productive people are as long as outsiders are kept outside and the people inside are happy and healthy, and a legitimate way to make America healthier for way cheaper is to start regulating foods first, then cutting farming subsidies for all these oil based crops, taxing imports to keep farmers happy because those guys boogaloo at every chance they get, and properly teach actual nutrition in school and not the fake ass FDA shit that's going on now.
After all of this, then I can agree to socialized healthcare.
>>
>>488986316
We do. You know that defense budget people keep shitting on? About 1/3 of that is specifically Healthcare for approximately 1.5 million active and reserve servicemembers. If you're poor it's also covered. If youre old its also covered. We also have free clinics in cities that operate like Britain. You wait in line for several hours then schedule an appointment months out. Those are charity operations though not forced by the state. US has 340m people.

I suppose the biggest barrier is that nobody in America wants the government to have a vested interest and therefore power over the health of its people. That's how you get mandatory vaccinations, diet control punishable by incarceration, death boards, and just overall opening the door for tyranny.

Socialized healthcare is just what people call it, man. I'm for social programs and I really think that you're not addressing the legitimate plan I have to make the public healthier, including socialized healthcare. It's just not realistic right now though.

1. i thought it was 75%, so, not even all of that.
2. what about how they benefit from the REST of the US military that they do not pay for

>lack of credible threat in the region

i guess china does not exist anymore
>>
>>488992454
he things becuase japan pays for 75% of the costs of just the US military based in their territory... that makes it a wash... and japan has no enemies or threats, with us or without us there.

>>488986316
because king nigger made insurance mandatory.

still not sending their best.

>>488992089
>What does that have to do with keeping the sees safe?
It was claimed the US cannot afford these things because it pays for the defence of other countries. Japan pays 75% of the cost.

How do you generate the brain power to breath is truly one of lifes mysteries.
The US doesn't pay for their defence, so the argument doesn't apply there. Regarding Europe, the US does this to control their security so they don't become a third force. In both cases it provides bases the US can use to forward project forces. And also in both cases WHAT THREAT? If there is no threat then logically it must follow there is another purpose, that I already explained.
>>488992743
>made insurance mandatory
Do you refer to the Affordable Care Act that is based on a state based medicaid expansion a Republican Governor introduced and was drafted by the Heritage Foundation?
But how does its failings mean a purely public system that cuts out all the middlemen and bureaucracy of working through the private system cannot work the way it does everywhere else?
>>
>>488993725
Okay, it's uniquely American, but I'm American and we're talking about implementation of it in America. I again, you're attacking the way I'm saying this and not what I'm actually saying. I think you want to support as you say public healthcare just because it's the popular thing to like. I have a real plan to fix the health situation and a plan to implement public healthcare.
>>
>>488994103
>it works everywhere else
>oh I get it you just want to do what's popular
How do you interpret that
>>
>>488994810
I don't get that conclusion from everyone else doing it, I get it because it's an idea that a lot of culturally left people have and they're very bold about it. It's popular for those groups of people and then tribalism kicks in (not to say anything bad about you, everyone is influenced by tribalism) and you feel very bold in your own belief in public healthcare. But what about my plan? Do you agree with it? If not, what would you change?
>>
>>488993725
We subsidize their defense. defense includes including protecting trade. Who do you think protects oil shipments and trade in general?

Why do you think piracy is not a way bigger thing than it is?


>"What THREAT"?
literally any of them.... what planet are you on?
are you saying Europe and japan have zero threats and do not need military/defense? I mentioned china but you just ignored it. so w/e
The US certainly pays for much of what Japan should be paying for themselves. Even you are admitting that they dont even pay for all the US military based in Japan... forget about those not based there and the navy. Who protects the seas?

You think if the US military disappear tomorrow, these countries would not face threats that previously had a lid kept on them?


create/allow a weakness and evil will exploit it.
>>
Most of you retards wont understand any of this but here is the truth so listen carefully

This entire post is an example of the overton window shifting away from our founding ideals as a nation. You can have some amount of public healthcare, but administered by States. There is in fact, without an amendment, no possibility within Article I or II to allow for public health care systems by the national government.

Redistribution of wealth is evil when revenue is raised through direct taxation and there is no apportionment. This is because, just as John Locke described, labor is in fact your life. This very concept is at the core of our constitutional tax system, and why we have two categories of taxes (excise and direct with apportionment).

Taxing your life without everyone feeling the pain is immoral, hence apportionment in Article II. States are given more authority under the 10th amendment for domestic issues, but even there they would be shackled by the constitution.

People treat the national government as this large god like entity that has always been there and always will be. Like a father figure, a parent, that takes care of you your entire life.

The relationship between citizen and government needs to be redressed in a significant way.
>>
>>488986316
Because it's a lie. Poor people die earlier than people with money. No one gives a fuck if you dont have money. And no fucking government can change it. Everyone knows you save money to fight off the first few rounds with disease and aging.

>>488986316
Oh boy I can't wait to wait 7-36 months to have my broken arm treated while pakis and jeets get instant treatment for a runny nose or a stubbed toe.

I am a bit disappointed with these responses:
* Somehow the existence of black people prevents it, no explanation.
* Somehow the existence of unhealthy people prevents the implementation of a *checks notes* program to help people be healthy, again no explanation.
* Somehow illegal immigrants would prevent it from working, despite the fact that with no identification they could not be registered.
* da J00s!
* We have to pay for everyone elses defence/healthcare/whatever - the American imperial system is indeed a problem but you have to properly understand its purpose and what it is doing to properly dismantle it, and this aint it. And when you do not fundamentally object to that system and oppose cutting the military budget you're just being facetious.

>>488986316
What’s really fucked is the mental health sector. Firstly, so many people try to abuse it for disability gibs, meaning a bunch of walls and filters are made to try and prevent this, but what often ends up happening is it also stonewalls people who actually need assistance - even if temporary - from actually getting it. If someone is so hopeless and dysfunctional that they can’t even take care of themselves, then what chance do they have to access and understand the process of getting help? The amount of conditions and legalese is baffling, and you’re 90% guaranteed to get a claim rejected without a lawyer, which will put you in debt if you have nothing to begin with. Basically if you can’t work because of mental issues, and therefore can’t afford a psychiatrist of any worthwhile merit, you’re fucked and may as well just end it now.
>>
>>488986316
Because companies need to pay themselves and steal from their workforce every little bit of life and time they have. If you tried to make the workforce healthy they wouldn't be reliant on a (((job))) to have health insurance, they wouldn't be literal slaves. And you cannot have a prosperous (((industry))) without slave labor because (((trade))) is always a net loss.
>>
>>488996058
It's not that the existence of unhealthy people prevents the implementation of programs to be healthy, it's that it's fat isn't cured with a visit to the hospital and reliance on Ozempic to avoid otherwise avoidable unhealthiness is bad for the mind and body in other ways. Fat people take up multiples of the amount of care that a normal person does, and America has multiple times more fat people than most other western nations. Again, please talk about my plan to actually implement public healthcare. This is why I said you just want to support it just 'cuz. I have a perfectly reasonable plan that includes public healthcare and you're ignoring it because I'm saying it'd be bad right now because it really would be bad right now.

>>488996194

Except it wouldn't benefit everyone. Extrapolate, consolidate, you'll have government healthcare administered by the same people that charge us 800 dollars for a hammer at the defense department.

Ostensibly, you would also be poorer, because of the inflationary effect. See Canada, Europe, and even the USA for the last 5 years.

>It works in little boutique nations in Europe that don't have a national defense to worry about because the USA subsidizes it

Yeah, we know.

Also, you didn't read anything I wrote, that's fine. You're a perfect example of the public school system at work, your answer for everything is "well, I don't understand it, and we do it anyway so its just dandy".

Throwing away "some document from the 1700s" for something created by modern educated idiots is literally the most brain rot move imaginable. You don't even understand how, despite what little of that document remains untouched, it protects you in ways you're probably too stupid to imagine.

By all means, don't understand labor theory of property, be a wagie tax slave for the government for "muh healthcare" that could easily be delivered by the free market at significantly reduced cost without government interference.
