How should the US healthcare system be fixed? My town got a warning notice from the local hospital that the facility might shut down after January due to the upcoming Medicaid cuts, which would fuck over a lot of people, since the next hospital is over 50 miles away. It kind of feels like the US is becoming generally poorer and less capable of doing shit or delivering/maintaining services.

This is fixing it, if your town can’t pay for it itself, then it doesn’t generate enough economic value to justify the hospital funding

You literally can't. A universal system is too expensive for your dying country that has to spend all of it's money on military and servicing debt, and there's too many interest groups that profit from the statue quo.

Well, that is because the US is becoming generally poorer and less capable of doing shit or delivering/maintaining services.

That's nothing my city hospital closes all the time because there's no doctors on duty so you have to wait 12hrs at a different hospital
We have ""free"" healthcare so you get what you pay for

I have an excellent solution. Rename the town to "Israel". It'll get massive funding increase just by association.

Anyone worried SSI is next?

Anon they shot down Medicaid for All. They don't want to fix the issue.

Cutting Medicaid and SSI is the solution. This is what I voted for

Gee, it's almost like inflation is actually a bad thing.

>>542077701
>Cutting Medicaid and SSI is the solution.
It's barely even a start. There are a million other things which need to be abolished too. A good place to start would be certificate of need laws, also medical licensing, patents, the whole war on drugs, mandatory health insurance, and all the other ways the government fucks with the insurance market. You republicans are basically communists with some minor exceptions to try to avoid completely destroying the market.

Nope. You don't know shit about economics and are a clown.

You’re a hippy Marxist

We need the war on drugs, and patents are a good thing. Everything else besides nuclear energy and banking should be deregulated tho

The modern US healthcare system was not initially built out as a for-profit exercise. Clinics and hospitals were considered public goods during the early 20th century. One of the projects during the WPA construction spree in the 1930's was the establishment of more medical facilities in more remote and rural areas, along with rural electrification.

If we really had a Milton Friedman system there would be zero public hospitals. Complete and total privatization

yeah, gotta protect the banking cartel, otherwise you couldn't fund your bloated warfare/welfare state with inflation. Without the American welfare/warfare state, what would become of poor Israel?

Should run for Congress they do even less than play vidya and still get benefits.

Your town. If hospital is important to you and your 'town' doesn't have one then move to a town that does. In the meantime go read Portnoy article on useless tests given to keep charging these bureaucracy scams. And then realize Speaker from Louisiana, in that state if you have a kid and are a poor you receive Medicaid too just because you gave birth until your youngest turns 19. 19 years of Medicaid for having a kid as if it is a couple decade disability. Keep staggering your births and you have Medicaid until you are Medicare eligible age. Just from fucking while poor. And that's conservative. Conserving scams.

>Milton Friedman
Friedman was literally a socialist. The fact that he was *less* of a socialist than most socialists doesn't mean he was a capitalist. By the standards of the 19th century he would have been considered a radical socialist. It's only because we live in an era where socialism is ubiquitous that his ideas seem capitalistic at all.

We could have free healthcare if we killed fat people and boomers.

It's not a solution by no means but a Public Option would do wonders for healthcare in general, at the very least way better than your current options but nobody wants to do that for some god forsaken reason.
>>
Republicans are fucking everything up.
At least leftshits would give you your healthcare back while republicans only suck Israel off and start new wars for the jews
>>
>>542078756
Even if we were to accept the notion that a taxpayer funded healthcare option could be a good thing, why do you think that the US government, which is shitty even by the very low standards set by other governments, would somehow manage to create a "public option" which is better than the current system, which is already one of the sectors where the government has the largest involvement, beaten out only by education and the military? American education is notoriously bad, and the US military just fell flat on its face trying to beat Iran, which is not exactly a powerhouse.

Republicans should fucking lose in the midterms. I don’t care how woke leftshits are, these republicans deserve to lose badly and hopefully do, but these cocksuckers are changing the rules around voting intentionally to try to rig it for the Goyim Oppressor Party

>How should the US healthcare system be fixed?
stop restricting the number of doctors in this country. The residency program forces medical schools to turn away 50% of qualified applicants each year.

restrict the number of doctors and free market economics fails.
>>
I used to take inflixmab and Entyvio in the usa. It cost like 2000 bucks every other month and the insurance would pay but insurance was like 400 bucks a month for me and small senpai. Thats with lying on income. Now I pay 4 dollars to get the latest pills every 3 months and they normally are about 50 bucks a day retail.

I recommend you cancel your insurance and just keep paying. It's a good system for the US.

The Houthis are gonna find out why you don't have healthcare and live with niggers boi!
>>
>>542079341
Lmao this dipshit thinks foreign doctors are qualified.
>>
>>542079417
learn to read, we turn away 50% of qualified americans that apply to medical school every year.

>It kind of feels like the US is becoming generally poorer and less capable of doing shit or delivering/maintaining services.
The US is literally wealthier than ever. But it's all concentrated at the top. 13 people now have more than 50%. That kind of wealth inequality hasn't existed before in history. Some people tried to warn us it would be bad. But conservatives said no, it's great, it's capitalism, and the wealth will trickle down and make everybody rich. They will use their billions to create jobs and make the country great. Well that didn't happen. Instead, they just hoarded their gains all while cutting and outsourcing millions of jobs. And also filling the rest of the jobs with foreign replacements. Now they're looting the last of what they can before it all dries up.

Everything you've been told about economics by conservatives has been a lie. A scam. The outcome of all their policies has just been to destroy the middle class and funnel wealth upwards to the 0.1%. Great for them, bad for everyone else. You see now.

No you didn't.

Yeah, able-bodied neets are just sitting around playing games and collecting mediaid.
