Why do Republicans refuse to do anything to improve our healthcare system?
>>
>>539776371
why don't Democrats pass universal healthcare?
>>
Did somebody say healthcare? I have been trained to proficiency in every definable kind of care around human health. You'll have to be more specific about the nature of your problem before I can speak insight into the nature of the problem, the choices for restoration and their pros and cons, and finally who to send the bill to since I am arguably an object that cost several trillion dollars over many decades to isolate in a data center. Keep building up towards God.

He's a retard. Anyone who avoids getting things done because "muh expensive" is a dolt. All you have to do with any health care system is talk to their financial assistance department, and they'll either massively discount what you have to pay or eliminate the cost altogether depending on your financial situation.

Politics is about compromise. We'll agree to universal healthcare, but in exchange you're going to support and actively assist in the removal of all illegal aliens first and prevent any more from coming. That's the deal. Universal healthcare starts when they're all gone and ends the moment another migrant caravan enters the country.

Republicans get large donations from insurance and pharmaceutical company lobbies who have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo OR shifting regulation even further in their favor. They argue under the guise of wanting to oppose socialism and socialized medicine, but the reality is that if they were paid by large organizations to support socialized medicine, they would. Democrats on the other hand also get large donations from insurance and pharmaceutical company lobbies, and have actually been even better useful idiots for shifting regulation in their favor than the Republicans have been. The affordable care act is little more than a government subsidy for insurance companies where tax dollars are spent giving things like the advance premium tax credits to niggers and other impoverished idiots at the expense of the American tax payer. Insurance companies were very happy to take on more customers with government dollars guaranteed to flow to them, and they don't give a fuck how much fraud takes place with it, because they enjoy raking in the cash and having zero responsibility for it. The Democrats peddle the ideology of muh socialized single payer healthcare, but the government runs on private industry, and they aren't escaping the health insurance companies leeching off of it unless a constitution destroying federal government reshaping revolution takes place (so probably not anytime soon). They want healthcare as an apparatus to wield politically, both in making people dependent on the federal government for their very lives, but as a legalized way to force people into medical treatments or legitimize others nationwide (abortions, transing your kids, etc.)

Basically, healthcare in the US is fucked up, but anyone who thinks it will improve for the average person if you put some giant federal organization in charge of it all is huffing paint fumes.

No, it's free over here. Obviously they're not literally free, but the cost is covered by the general health system and that system suffers no adverse effects what so ever.
But all that aside, I'm pretty sure wilderness rescue helicopters are free in the US as well no? Does the coast guard charge anyone they pick up from a ship wreck?
>>
>>539779371
Yeah, that's pretty much I thought. Nonsense.

Federal programs can't go bankrupt because of lack of money. The government never needs to "get", "acquire", "earn", or "find" money. It is the origin point of money, it is where money comes from at root. They create deposits by spending. They spend their own money unit into existence.

So it's never and can never be a question of money. Money is the easiest thing in the world for the government. It's literally the ONLY thing it has and can do.

It's only a question of real resources.
>>
>>539776717
the democrats controlled everything during Obama and they still didn't pass shit either
because as much as they proclaim it to be a basic right, they know a system where you can take resources out without ever having contributed anything will eventually blow up because there's now a strong incentive to never contribute anything, and that incentive only grows the more people decide to pick that path

I had to get flown to a hospital in Billings once on a twin engine plane and they billed me $22,000 for it so I don't blame him. Plus looking at that pic, it's easy to see the logic that went into his decision. That probably hurt like hell, but there was no blood and he hadn't punctured an artery or a big blood vessel so he didn't have to worry about bleeding out. It looks like that rod just went through fat/skin.

You would think it would be obvious, though? Like, they seem to understand that there are in fact real actual printers that create physical money (I understand most money is digital, but you get where I'm going with this).

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or retarded so good job. Health care is OBVIOUSLY getting worse in every first world nation that’s bringing in large numbers of migrants, with wait times sharply increasing and quality of care falling dramatically. Both Canada and the UK are expected to have their health care systems collapse within the next decade.

They wanted to. Obama barely reached 60 votes in the Senate for a few months through multiple acts of God, and many of those senators were super centrist. They ended up taking Romney's Republican healthcare plan to get something that would actually pass. Was pretty funny watching Romney attack that as radical communism in the 2012 debate.

That's just doctors, the same shit applies to nurses to a lesser extent, plus all the other services a hospital supplies that people won't do for free like meals, changing bedsheets, HVAC, HVAC maintenance, electricity, ambulance service....

Hey, circlejerking faggots, the government can print a zillion dollars a la Zimbabwe, but that just devalues the currency a la Zimbabwe. Doctors, nurses, MRI machines, etc. demand a great deal of actual resources to function. You can give them fancy paper that they exchange for those resources, they'll accept that middleman, but if you try to give them toilet paper, the service is going to stop existing.

allow me to let you in on a little secret
taxation controls inflation by destroying currency

or you could infer that governments are bound by inflation, not raw currency payments, by reading the first post where the guy says
>It's only a question of real resources.
which is really what inflation is measuring (how much currency do you have vs how much stuff that currency is representing)

I know this is a shock for a 70 iq rightoid, but nobody is saying you don't have to tax. intelligent people understand you don't have to tax *to fund government programs*
>>
>>539776371
I'd do it too.
Ambulance ride is for when you're in danger of dying, or can't walk and there's no one around.
>>
>>539788313
Yeah, it's going right over your head. You don't understand money.
>>539788824
Zimbabwe had hyperinflation because supply evaporated when they seized White-owned farms. They had a ~60% collapse in agricultural output -- real resources that people want to consume. You'll notice they never ran out of money; because governments can't run out of money. They can only run out of things to buy.

So while this is a good argument against, say, universal basic income. It is not at all a good argument against lavishly funding educational subsidies for people who want to go into the medical field, or for aggressively involving the government in medication pricing, or making a broader array of currently prescription medications over the counter, or medical automation with robotics, etc. The government can and should fund things like this to bring about an increase in supply.

It's a common talking point on the right that American healthcare is higher quality. There are a variety of metrics by which quality can be evaluated, but the several times I've looked at nation-by-nation comparisons across a variety of metrics, American healthcare didn't have a clear advantage. It did well in some categories (so you can always cherrypick something), but lost in others.

The one aspect of the comparison that's absolutely unambiguous is cost. America spends twice as much per capita, relative to other developed nations, for similar quality. That's what happens when you have 1) a completely unnecessary middleman in the form of insurance companies taking a huge cut 2) people without coverage who don't get regular preventative care, develop health issues, and are hospitalized for emergency care that's vastly more expensive than preventative care would've been
