We pay 15% tax on every dollar spent.
You pay 5%
If you are willing to pay taxes at 3 times more than you pay now then yes you can have the so-called "free" healthcare.
Raise your taxes to 15% or stop whining 🙄

@Cheesemaster....However we spend more money on
medical care than ANY COUNTRY.......Hey, Cheese, do you use govt care?
@cheesemaster saidI'm in exactly the same boat as you are. I pay through my taxes for the public system which has all the first-rate medical services but also has long wait times for non-emergencies. I also pay out of my own pocket for private insurance, and it's quite expensive, for several reasons. I like having a room and bath to myself, a la carte meals and other small comforts. I don't have to wait months for elective surgery.
Nope.
But I've been paying for it my whole life.
I have no problem with paying for the public system that I don't use. Every human being should have the right to basic needs even if they can't afford to pay for them. Note the "basic needs" there.
I'm expected to pay for bike paths, public parks and other things that I may not use, if I live in a place where these facilities are provided for the general population. If I'm going to whine about forced payments I'd go there, because they're not basic human needs. Health care is.
@jimm619 saidIt makes it very obvious who the US politicians truly work for . It is all about who gives them the most bribes . The people are of little importance to them .
@Duchess64
...............I don't understand.........Canada can do it as well as France, Germany, Great Britai9n, Spain, Netherlands, even poor little Cuba, and on and on.......Why can't we?
Do you think that if BIG PHARMA wanted universal care, we would get it done?
@caissad4 saidAt the end of the day you are right.

@Cheesemaster....But it is available, right cheese...
Funny how that works, Cheese, I pay taxes that build roads
and schools when I'Ive neither a car nor children.

No, what we have is ANTITRUMP care. He doesn't give a rats ass if the average citizen has C19, he ONLY worries if his billionaire buddies, his soldiers, and his family get it.
Did you ever serve in the military? What do you think about Trump veto of the military budget?
