If making a persuasive argument to capitalists regarding government intervention in healthcare, I don’t see how it wouldn’t be advantageous to sell the programs as a way to improve their bottom line. If healthy people get the things they need to be productive, then they are productive and the business benefits. It’s as if these advocates don’t believe in the benefits of the programs they are selling. Do they not believe it will have appreciable effects for the greater economy?
- modo_mario 7y agoOh they sure do but i don't think "improve their bottom line" actually affects that many people comparatively and those who it does affect's wealth is relative and not that easily budged by the fact that people with more purchasing power being able to circulate more money, people with better overall health being more productive, etc is better for the economy. At least not if it has to come from their pocket in any way.
