Although I'm generally very much in favour of UHC I'm worried about how to combine an acceptable level of universal health coverage with an acceptable level of payment for a country with a gdp of about $1500 per person annually. I guess the poorest will be earning quite a bit less than that. Assuming little income inequality you'd be talking 2 dollars a day. how much of that can reasonably be healthcare? maybe 40 cents? that would put the amount of health coverage at 150 dollars annually. Then we have to ask how much coverage can you provide for this amount.. I'm guessing the poor will be pissed about the amount they need to pay and everyone will be pissed at the lack of coverage.
