Isn't this why Health Insurance was invented?
mutts fucked their system up beyond repair so that many cant even afford health insurance.
also a side effect of the large inequality.
americans have to pay a simple medical examination?
Yes
>just tax the rich
You tax everyone and use the money to invest in education, healthcare, etc. that are either more efficient with a single-payer system or increase the wealth of the nation.
The problem is we can't use socialist project funds responsibility because of all our obese niggercattle and smokers.
Even with your unhealthy life styles, a single payer system would give you more for less.
You do too tho
Having no cure is different from having no treatment though
I don't mind the idea of having a single-payer system here or something similar. Though it's not a perfect system. Beside the obvious having to front the tax money for it, we actually have some of the best physicians in the world precisely because of the money they're making. Although obvious this makes for a poor outcome for all the lowest income citizens.

[citation needed]
The American healthcare system is so completely fucked that we need to scrap everything and start over.
Best I could do at the moment. It doesn't explicitly say so, but it makes logical sense from the doctors perspective. If you're the best at what you do, you want to be paid your worth.
Meant to post this.
You can't just pour money into certain projects and expect them to turn out well
America is filled with corruption and nepotism
You need to uproot the whole system if you want to make meaningful reforms like that
Right, the chance for higher wages will attract some doctors from Canada to the US. We have the same thing going between Sweden and Norway. While it will increase the number of doctors in the higher-paying country slightly, it does little to change their quality.
It's not about pouring money into it, it's about the more efficient use of resources and economy of scale of a single payer system.
>It's not about pouring money into it
You said investing which pretty much means pouring money into it
>it's about the more efficient use of resources and economy
What is this supposed to mean?
>and economy of scale of a single payer system.
What would that accomplish?
We already spend so much on healthcare
americans don't have universal healthcare for the public but they do for criminals in prison
kek
The rich tax you by stealing from you, hence why theyre rich.

So, with the exception of one type of stroke, Canadian healthcare is equivalent or superior to that of the USA. We do this for 11.3% of GDP or about $6,500 per person per year.
America currently spends around 17% of GDP on healthcare or about $11,500 per person per year then, according go Forbes, a family of 4 with the most commonly offered employer provided healthcare plan, will still have average annual costs of around $25,000.
You are paying vastly more money for the same or likely worse healthcare.
People who support the rich are fucking retards. There’s no reason for anyone to have more money than they could ever hope to spend.
A single payer system cuts out a number of middle men who all want to take as big of a cut as they can get away with and reduces the size of the cut that the others can take. The negotiating power that comes with speaking for 300 million customers would reduce the costs of drugs and the like to the lowest price that the pharmaceutical companies could still turn a profit from, rather than the ridiculously high prices they get away with now. You would also be able to place individual orders of a scale that would allow said pharmaceutical companies to start up more efficient production lines or even entire factories rather than having to start small and expensive and then slowly ramp up production over time. By doing these things together rather than separately, they become cheaper.
