    You literally have a system that funds hospitals and healthcare by taking small amounts from everyone. That part isn’t the problem. The problem is allowing it to be done for massive profits.

    To outlaw that while also not providing any replacement would be the same as sentencing tens of millions to die or suffer from treatable illness.

      Who the fuck is saying that? Literally I have never seen someone ever suggest that

      No one would need to directly be paying for healthcare or insurance in order for folks to have good care. In a system that doesn’t greatly reward antisocial behavior and policies is there any reason we couldn’t you know, maybe NOT require folks to pass any kind of barrier, financial or otherwise, in order to get care? The problem is not just that it’s done for profits. Even if all insurance companies had to be nonprofits, as long as we keep doing things this way (the system at large that is not solution focused with the goal of meeting needs effectively and responsibly, but is instead profit driven) they would still have to deny claims to remain afloat.

      Also, don’t pretend you give a shit about people suffering or not receiving adequate care when you’re an apologist for fucking UHC and Mr Dead CEO.
