Why can't people understand that the United States doesn't have the money to afford universal healthcare? It's already running at a trillion dollar annual deficit. We're racking up a debt we could never possibly pay for.
It's a very basic concept. The US can't afford the nice things. It can't afford them. The country is not robust enough. The country has too many people. The country already spends more than it can afford. The military budget isn't even 1/4th of what it would cost to begin paying for universal healthcare on a national scale.
what are you on about? if you cared about healthcare half as much as military it would be ez pz to get universal healthcare. dont though universal healthcare is not ideal and the way we do it in Canada is stupid.
David Thompson
The military budget is, rounded up, $900B. Universal healthcare would cost roughly $4T.
Jayden Ross

Greatest goy ever worring about paying his jewish masters .
Luke Mitchell
wait the usa population is like 320k - 350k right? how could it be 4T? wtf are you spending the money on?
Jack Hughes
meant mil not k
Grayson Gomez
Fuck paying for other ppl.
Justin Phillips
you know what I find funny burgermutt? The total EU expenditure on healthcare is 7.1% of EU GDP. Your total is 18% and it's not even universal or affordable.
Kayden Long
Dear future millonaire
Keep shilling here ,soon you will be among the millonaires just keep working hard for the jewish masters and soon they will let you eat their leftovers.
Luke Reyes
exactly , thats what im saying we are in agreement
Caleb Johnson
Healthcare in Canada is nigger tier. 6 months for mri, 4 months to see specialist, 7 more months for surgery. Total of 17 months for 12 minute knee scope. God bless universal healthcare
Leo Turner
yea thats what im saying , im waiting to see a specialist at the moment myself and its actually 8 months.
Kevin Ward
I'm curious if it's Boomer exceptionalism behind all this. We didn't have universal health care for most of this nation's history and appear to have reached here, fine.
I went to the US and paid 8k out of pocket. MRI and specialist seen on a Tuesday, surgery Wednesday. I compressed 17 months into 2 days by avoiding universal healthcare
John Ross
Every state has health centers that you don't pay, taxpayer funded. Why do people say we don't have universal health care?
Well if we cut off these third world leaches and used OUR money for ourselves and remove this corruption from our public offices you'd be surprised how much real progress we could make Taxation is theft the Fed is slavery via usury and lobbying should be outlawed
Evan Long
State backed healthcare is even more expensive because everything becomes a massive fraud. NPCs can't map links between cause and consequence so there is no use discussing this.
Jeremiah King
Why can't people understand that the US has too many brown people that dont work or pay taxes therefore make universal healthcare not viable? Is the real question you should be asking.
The problem is shit skins...

But according to Republicans, the United States CAN afford a 700 Billion dollar military budget....
Lucas Smith
America needs to take a good look at itself and realize how messed up its priorities are. Godspeed America. You can do it.
>the money to afford That's why it would be free you retard
Jeremiah Robinson
We could easily pay for it if we didn't have 44 million niggers and stopped spending trillions on Jew wars for Israel.
Isaiah Myers

Jonathan Walker
Healthcare in The US would cost three/four times as much as the military cost. The military has value as a force that can be bartered Most Healthcare is a scam or wasted within the second you walk into the building.
So yeah no, we are good.
Sebastian Peterson
The US already spends 3.5 trillion state and federal on healthcare in 2017.
> but muh socialism > but muh budget
Aiden Adams
That's a relief, for quite a while I've been getting anxiety about the people who can't afford health care.
Jonathan Cook
But user, if all the richest 1% were required to give their money to the universal healthcare system and inheritance tax at 100% were used, we'd all have free healthcare and all of our problems would go away.
Connor Ross
Agreed
Nathaniel Lewis
We are beyond saving. The majority of people have no time to dwell on important issues anymore
Landon Jackson
Wtf are you talking about where are these things?? I have a friend in Georgia who has no healthcare he needs help. I also have daily migraines but due to transportation issues it's difficult for me to get to my doctors office 30 miles away.
Kayden Walker
Who's going to collect on the debt? They would literally have to go up against the US Government.
Also, if we can waste money subsidizing defence industries for half-finished projects and corporate tax cuts we can also spare budget for universal healthcare. We would actually save money as a country since the ~2 trillion Americans spend in total for worse healthcare than other countries would be given back to the people and less per person would be taken out than is currently spent privately
Lucas Roberts
Actually it's more like 3.2 trillion a year and we would save 2 trillion over 10 years doing it via government
if you add up the entire EU spending by country the US still spends more as a total as a percentage of GDP and per capita for it's shitty non socialist non universal healthcare

Mercatus is not a valid source, get outta here with that faggotry.
Julian Smith
Migraines? Nigga there's people out there with cancer who can't get help. Fuckin take a tylenol unironically.
Alexander Torres
So introducing more government inefficiency on top of that will fix it?
No, that's just dumb and those of you who think so are idiots.
The problem with healthcare in the US is that it's so fucking expensive as is. Until we get costs under control, it doesn't matter whether you pay through taxes or through your insurance. The baseline cost must come down first.
Alexander Miller
You are getting turbo cucked by both the state and the private healthcare companies in an unholy alliance to scam the consumer. The entire population of the EU is like 500 million and their total spending is fucking less than yours you could just reform the system and have socialized universal healthcare even accounting for the niggers and spend less than you do now
Justin Baker
>the state and the private healthcare companies in an unholy alliance to scam the consumer.
> you could just reform the system
inherently contradictory. There's far too much money at stake to just "reform the system." Both government and private companies have no incentive to change anything because both are massively benefiting from the huge costs passed onto your average person.
Eventually what's going to happen is that some type of socialized medicine is going to get passed, but without reforming anything so costs will continue spiraling up and out of control, and it will be obamacare 2.0
Chase Bailey
>Why can't people understand that the United States doesn't have the money to afford universal healthcare?
(((Healthcare))) in the united states isn't designed to be affordable, it's designed to impoverish as many as possible, and the only reason why (((They))) are pushing universal healthcare, is so they can take more money from the government.... like, $1,200 for an asprin.
Luis Cook
This. We already have socialized medicine, it's just so inefficient it's not nearly universal, and routinely bankrupts people WITH HEALTH INSURANCE. That fact alone should cue you in to the problem, because the system doesn't bother going after (or charging at all) people who can't afford to pay. If you have any money at all, you're a cow to be milked as much as possible.
Mason Lee
That's socialized medicine, not universal healthcare. There is a difference.
Tyler Wood
The white people who do work and pay taxes could pay for it all 3 times over, but the system is intentionally inefficient and diverts money into private pockets instead of patient care.
Anthony Butler
Because children and most humans are a hivemind and it's better to be an obnoxious idiot about something everyone you know agrees with than to risk being "controversial" in even the most poignant and polite manner. t. had to suffer this shit in chatrooms that supposedly banned political discussion.
Joseph Nelson
>wtf are you spending the money on? Obesity.
Charles Carter
This is a big issue, yes. We need to eliminate obesity in the US. And I do mean eliminate it. Eliminate the mindset that leads to it, eliminate that whole "body positivity" and "fat acceptance" bullshit. A fit nation brings that estimate down substantially.
Kayden Mitchell
Yes, and other disorders caused by a sedentary lifestyle such as diabetes and cancer. Ironically the disorders are commonly treated by taxpayer subsidized mobility scooters which actually exacerbate the problem by making the patient even more sedentary.
Daniel Howard
god i forgot it was such a problem down there , i mean its bad here but the americans are at like wall-e levels arnt they.
Cameron Ross
>gives $1 trillion in new debt in tax cuts to jewish bankers sorry, goys we can't afford healthcare lol
Jace Martin
it would only cost about 300 trillion dollars
Aiden Rogers
Trump gonna kick the FED without paying and replace it with real gold and start all over.
Under the current system, yes. Under any sane country's healthcare system (Spain, UK, Australia, etc) we could already pay for it with our current funding level and still have money left over. The problem is (((Medicare))) and (((Medicaid)))
Nicholas Reed
Yes it is, it's a libertarian think tank tank that's highly influential in conservative circles.
Parker Murphy
>you americans should totally do this thing >wait are you saying this thing would cost HOW MUCH?
yeah thats like over 10 thousand dollars per person (american dollars), i dident know Americans where that fucking fat.
Daniel Cox
This
Elijah Hughes
This is why we need to get rid of most welfare. The welfare state is entirely unconstitutional and illegal.
Carson Peterson
You know what? I hope that you do get universal healthcare. It’ll speed up your economic collapse by a significant percentage.
Josiah Howard
isent the us economy doing great?
Gavin Nelson
No. It’s a house of cards. The debt is rising constantly, and Trump hasn’t done shit to stop or slow that down.
Brandon Evans
That, along with gun control are two impossible things to practice in your country. The former because an universal healthcare system implies that most hospitals are literally state owned and not in the hands of a private party. Obviously, if they are in the hands of a private party, said party will overcharge the state and the taxpayer gets literally robbed while they become some sort of outrageously well paid aristocrats. The later is also impossible due to the sheer number of weapons already in circulation (just to explain another impossibility even if not related).
Landon Martin
*On the other hand.... maybe if the state starts building their own hospitals they can level down prices with sheer competition alone. It doesnt even need to actually engulf everyone. Just shake things a bit. Hmm....
Samuel King
the military gets more than enough money they can afford some cuts
Mason Morales
You’re a fucking idiot. You’re paying double than other countries for overall worse coverage. Prevention is lower because it’s more expensive and leads to costly illnesses later on. People go bankrupt because the premiums are sky-high because of adverse selection, you don’t even have a mutualist system.
i heard different , apparently trumps fucking killing it right now and they might get back tons of money the Chinese have been stealing from them soon. they are also taking less bullshit from Europe which is a welcome change in my book.
Carson Robinson
There's no point in keeping people healthy if our military is weak.
Connor Gutierrez
>usdebtclock.org His end game was always lower corporate tax and more leeway to higher brackets but his current job places him in a privileged position to negotiate deals for himself, such as chinese investment in his property/Ivanka business, SA handouts to Jared and himself, etc. I can only imagine what jews also gave him. Since he wants continuity with a second term he simply cannot tax the "plebs" (the reason why mid/low brackets stay more or less the same) hence the rising debt. Its the middle class that always pays for this anyway....
Zachary Sanchez
depts just a number.
Levi Hernandez
Until investors tell you to fuck off and lose interest.
Carson Ward
We’ll see about that once the Great Depression 2: Civil war edition comes out.
Wyatt Reed
Corporate tax was just too high, come on. The problem is tax elusion at the 1% level, and he has done nothing for that issue.
Jayden Robinson
I wouldn't want UHC simply because I'd be paying taxes to cover Shaniqua and her five spawn born out of wedlock, Diego and his five brothers, and Cleetus and Billy Bob trying to cover their neonatal care from banging their cousins.
Julian Cox
It’s irrelevant at this point. The US is a dead country walking. Only a matter of time.
Kevin Nelson
Yeah it's all blacks really. But interestingly the healthcare costs are drastically lopsided towards being higher at old age so ironically when people waste money and die young because they're so fat it ends up costing about the same.
The greater issue is how the US is subsidizing (ie paying for) the healthcare research for the rest of the world that copies our drugs and resells them at dirt cheap prices and thus can usually afford some botched system of "free" taxpayer funded healthcare. I think you're the same leaf who said Canada is not doing healthcare right. Guess what nobody else is either and their systems are constantly on the brink of financial collapse because free healthcare isn't free and leaches destroy the system because they don't pay for/contribute to the process. That's why colder primarily white nations have the "best" systems. Brown people are less likely to live in those nations and bankrupt their healthcare systems.
America's larger geography also makes it much easier to mass produce garbage food and rely on vehicle transportation which makes us less healthy. So on top of how inherently flawed universal healthcare is by default America also would be the worst candidate for universal healthcare to begin with.
Alexander Harris
debt = sin = robbing from the future to live in the present. an economy built on debt, isn't an economy, it's a harvest waiting to happen.
Wyatt Howard
Once the extreme life extension healthcare options come on line, the rest of the world will come to the same standard that the US has. Healthcare is only for worthwhile people. And that is a good thing. The world is only going to get worse if we give people who can't be bothered to get the most basic of jobs, immortality. The first people who will live to age 200 are alive today.
Aaron Smith
Why do you think you will shame communists into doing things that sustain your nation? Why do you think that women want to think logically? They will flee to the first real men they find, those who are willing to die for their cause.
Elijah Thompson
We could afford socialized medicine and socialized college if we cut welfare and stopped being the world's baby sitters. We also spend 100x more than Russia and China combined but that's not because our military is 100x stronger it's because it's extremely corrupt and wasteful spending is completely ignored. We also get nothing for defending Asia from China and Europe from Russia. We have spent trillions on wasted wars in the ME to keep the petrodollar alive and well.
The real red pill, something that people in higher circles mock us all about is that we could afford a strong military and strong social programs if we took care of ourselves instead of letting almost every nation on earth bleed us dry. It will never happen because every single facet of our government has been infiltrated and coerced into working against us. Politics is a cruel joke, its like the gladiator games in the Roman times, just a blood thirsty sport to distract us. Trump is differen't in that they rigged the fight for him to lose and he won, but at the end of the day he's just a powerful player in a game ultimately rigged.
You already pay for all of them, dummy. They're covered by Medicare and Medicaid. "Universal" healthcare would just extend the treatment that they get to those who work (without bankrupting them).
Aiden Barnes
>only half a million deaths Damn, we need to spend more.
We don't need to cut welfare or defense spending (although we should, in terms of reforming them to deliver more efficiently on their promises). The funding mechanism is broken, there are literally no rules on how much a person can be charged, and hospitals abuse this to extract the most money from people who are least able to fight the bill. Wealthy people with good health insurance have insurance agents and lawyers who go to bat for them and tell the hospital to fuck off and lower their charges or else prepare for a fight, and the hospitals always fold. Poor people can't afford to pay (ever), so hospitals don't bother going after them. Middle class people who can only afford shit health insurance plans are the ones who get hounded for the last penny in their bank accounts because their insurance doensn't feel like fighting for them (because they don't pay much in premiums), and hospitals know they won't be able to afford an attorney to fight the bills if the insurance won't (like rich people do), so they go after them the hardest, and ruin their credit rating. This can all be solved by government regulation of costs, but this will never in a million years pass congress because it's bought and paid for by the heath insurance companies, who are in on the racket (and almost all of them own multiple hospitals).
Cameron Ross
Stop thinking it's some Monopoly guy at the top of hospitals that's the problem. They might contribute ~5% of our problems. The other 95% is caused by the endless horde of niggers and spics that flood through our doors every hour of the day for knife/gun wounds, pregnancy, or the sniffles. It's impossible for us to bill them since they don't have jobs, so we're forced to pass all those costs into the first poor sap with a job that comes in. >but muh saline cost muh $100! Your saline didn't cost $100. That's the cost of Rosa's saline and her surgery cost when she had her 7th kid.
