Bear in mind you already spend more per capita on healthcare than countries with universal healthcare , it's just you don't get anything for it, except the opportunity to make some different billionaires richer
So yeah you could add it to that and I dunno, buy some megayachts for someone or something
We don't need to. We could take the existing amount spent on healthcare, re-organize as universal healtch care single payer, and spend the same amount.
I don't know much about this topic, but I'm seeing a lot of uncontested claims of "us spends more on healthcare per capita" in this thread, leading me to believe that more money won't fix the underlying problem.
Okay, I know that user, and they're a fuckwit, but they're right. If you think defense spending is why we don't have universal health care, you're extremely uninformed.
Which is somewhat excusable if you're not American, but if your are, for shame, my dudes.
What's funny is that there should be less healthcare budget because the current cost per capita for the whole US is the highest in the world even though public healthcare only covers a minority of people. If actual universal public healthcare was implemented like in any rich country then healthcare spendings would go down dramatically.
