because everything comes from somewhere, and nothing ever comes for free, if you want healthcare you don't get billed for, then the cost you will pay instead will be the time you, and everyone else spends waiting for it, and the quality of the care you receive.

Free healthcare as you describe it, isn't free, it still costs resources, money, and people, the only real ,difference is instead of you paying for your bills, everyone shares them, whether they want to or not.
>>
>>518734075
the 'free' healthcare should be for children and not adults, cuts half the cost and meets the people who dont want to pay in at all in the middle
>>
>>518734406
roughly 150 million people in the US visit the emergency room each year, of these about 30 million are children, ER visits are always more expensive because they entail medical care that is needed NOW not when convenient, hospital admittance is a different story, with between 33 and 36 million Americans being admitted to a hospital every year, roughly 2 million of which are children.

unless im mistaken your math is off by a large margin.
>>
Healthcare should be free for Whites.
>>
>>518731787
This is what they bill government insurance plans that are legally required to just pay whatever with no power to scrutinize or negotiate. Private insurance companies do not pay this amount, if you have no insurance and demand to see an itemized bill you will magically get something that is a tenth the price of the original.

"Free healthcare" costs about half as much you dumbass American piece of shit. I know you can't understand "per capita" since you're a Mestizo retard who grew up only speaking Spanish at home. This shit is so well documented, yet you retarded fags still continue to believe whatever kosher lies Faux Noise tells you.

this is simply a bullshit excuse since healthcare has gotten worse and worse in the US over the last 20 years as doctors with private practices get bought up into large healthcare chain clinics with terrible service.

Yes the US has faster imaging times for non critical tests. Thats about the only thing i can say the US does better anymore.

>>518735536
private insurance companies make it so the people they partner with have to charge you full price out of pocket as part of their negotiation with the providers.

Somehow medical covers a third of california at 20% less per capita than everyone else is paying, despite being a 'bloated government bureaucracy'. For profit health insurance drives up prices and should be abolished.

Maybe the state could use some of its $1 trillion military budget to subsidize medical education amd training.

insults are useless noise, so im not wasting my time making any, the US spends more per head, yes, the US has more heads to spend on, and more money to spend on said heads.

The part you seem to be missing is that lower cost does not equate to medical care costing less, it simply reduces the financial burden by increasing the other forms of burden it incurs, in the case of the US vs canada for example, the amount of time you spend waiting for non emergency care is a decent example to point to.

Average wait time for non emergency care by appointment in canada, as of 2022, was just over 27 weeks, or over 6 and a half months.

In contrast the average wait time in the US for the same process of care was 26 days.

"Free healthcare" might cost you less money, but it costs you more time in exchange, and unlike money, time is a finite resource, once you spend it, you can't get it back.

>>518731787
>Why can't we have free healthcare?!?
You can.
Walk up to a doctor, put a gun against his head and tell him to treat you "or else".

Everyone making over 400k a year in the Kennedy era was taxed at 90 percent.

That would be $4,334,127.09 which is pretty reasonable. I'll even say we can round it up to 5mil.

That would be more than enough to de-privatize our prison system and establish Medicare for all. Good first step to returning to greatness.

Came to think of something.. Do you have free health care in jail/prison? If so, that's hilarious. Then you just need to call the cops and report a fake crime, and when they show up, you spit them in the face, go to prison for a year and get treated.

i cant speak to everyone's choice, but for me, its because I'm not trying to pat any system or country on the back or point to them as better than everyone else, I'm more interested in pointing out the differences between them and trying to show through logic that their differences impart both strengths and weaknesses.

And I'm also not keen on getting attacked or doxed or worse for daring to my mouth.
>>
>>518738217
90% is a bit too harsh, as it would stifle people's industriousness. No one would want to go all in if taxed 90%, so you'd lose a lot of entrepreneurs and thus production. Make it 70-75%.

>>518731967

Government interference in the private sector is EXACTLY why things like higher education and healthcare are far more expensive than they should be. Also the major influx of filthy minorities will prove to you the folly of giving free shit to the people. As the takers outnumber the makers you will know the true meaning of these words.

Kek. Up until around 1970 or so, prisoners in Denmark had to pay all expenses concerning their imprisonment upon release. Was some old law from the time of King Christian IV or so (16th/17th century). They should bring it back. Might make criminal faggots rethink their business.

Dipshit meme flag, you have bought into the narrative that the price of everything is organic and merely a reflection of capitalism determining an objective value!

Everytime this thread comes up I bring a simple yet easy solution to this problem.

Insurance:

It’s not difficult to grasp, if you lived in the UK you would be taxed for your NHS usage anyways. Let me give you a real world experience that I had recently.
>crash motorcycle while drunk at 3am coming home from bar
>call brother he picks up my bike and i drive home.
>realize I can’t move my leg well
> try to sleep it off thinking it’s just a bruise (crashed on a trail on a specialized dirt bike)
>wake up still in pain
> go to hospital with brother he drops me off in lobby.
> they ask what’s going on - say I crashed my motorcycle and can’t walk on left leg.
> they take me in give me X-Ray - nothing comes up.
>give me CAT scan - too much swelling
>give me percocets because I’m in pain and swelling is extreme.
>in and out 3 hours, received referral to orthopedics. Total cost $50
FFW one week:
>go to orthopedics, get MRI
>have torn ACL, major tear on MCL, and a torn Solus muscle in my calf.
>talk to surgeon, immediately prescribed me PT and set follow up.
> go to follow up and swelling is down enough, books surgery later that week.
> total cost now $100
FFW to surgery date
>get anesthesia and have my ACL repaired, surgery was a grand success. No lack of movement no complications have a former surgeon for the NFL. Receive great care and presribed PT.
>$140

MFW the entire thing cost me >$300 and was top notch medical care in under 3 weeks. I’m so glad to work for a hospital and get premier care insurance. It only cost me $60 a paycheck and will cover everything in a timely and efficient manor.

My tranny ftm drug addict sister will travel to different cities and knows just enough medical jargon to convince staff to admit her and get on pain meds just so she can get high. Shes been hospitalized at least a dozen times around the southeast and each time is on morphine for a week or so until they figure shes full of shit and toss her fuck ass out. She has over a million dollars of medical debt and has never had a job, and lives with her mom at the age of 45 despite 10 years of college. Sad, because shes really intelligent and has a great set of tits.

>>518731995
Yup, you’re under no obligation to pay back medical debt.

They can take you to collections but I beleive the current laws in place prevent it fromm affecting credit.
