Arguing that these are too extreme actually weakens the case for single-payer because that would require more regulation and more draconian pricing. Meanwhile we could look at even more countries like The Netherlands, Switzerland, or even Denmark, Bernie Sanders’ favorite country to cite, managed without single-payer.
- claudeganon 7y agoI never argued that they were too extreme, only that referencing disparate systems in contrast to the US’ amounts to little more than a vague, incoherent gesture. I personally think we should have a nationalized health service.
- take_a_breath 7y agoThey weren’t referenced in contrast to the US system. They were referenced as countries without single-payer healthcare that still manage universal healthcare. It’s neither vague or incoherent to point out how many different ways exist to solve a problem, only someone with an agenda could think so.
