Interesting take! I'd be curious to hear any thoughts on the Friedman doctrine as it relates to healthcare, and in broader terms of social services or just in general.

Well now just hold on a gosh darned minute there Mr. Flippy Mcflopper, "A plumber should not be paying for your gender studies degree" and yet you want me to pay for treatment of people who gave themselves diabetes by eating too much heavily subsidized sugar?

Anyway if you are slowly coming around to democratic socialism thinking that's great and I won't tell anyone, but you should realize education is as important as healthcare to a functioning society.

I just don’t think profit should be the core of the medical system due to inelastic demand.

I agree with you, comrade.

Germany was about 24%. So if you are willing to allow only 24% of people to have degrees then sure

Well I happen to believe that anything Germany can do, America can do better. We put man on the moon, did Germany do that? Why, I bet with a little American ingenuity and determination, we could get up to 60% of Americans to have degrees in gender studies.

It's here because Canada is the only country in the world with tax payer paid healthcare. Wait, what? Most countries in the world have tax payer paid healthcare? I meant in North America. Wait, what? Mexico has tax payer paid healthcare too?

Bro.. like half the people I know have gone to Mexico for Healthcare they can't get in the states because it's unaffordable. When I lived in AZ I used to go to Mexico to get my prescriptions filled for like 1/30th the cost of the same meds in America.

That’s probably because you only read fearmongering nationalist and racist media.

No, because liberals killed a disabled person with horrid policy. You got it backwards.

Liberals want a government funded health care system paid for by government taking other people's money and imprison everybody who won't give their money to the government, they demand a ban to private healthcare, but when there's no money for government to provide thorough treatment, they want people executed or killed off to save government money.

They say it's better for all people to suffer than for some individuals to do well.

Fun fact: The US healthcare system costs more IN TAXES than every other country's. And then you have to pay exorbitant amounts per month, and even more when you get sick, on top.

You hear that everyone? The mod doesn't spend a lot on healthcare so it's not a fact that this country spends more than any other and gets less. As a healthy person, your wants for cheaper healthcare are unfounded. "The system works for me" so nothing needs to change.
