Here in the UK we pay literally half as much per person for healthcare for similar outcomes, and everyone gets covered with no cost at the point of use, no medical bankruptcy.
No one is talking about a free lunch, they are talking about a better, more efficient way of doing it.
- rtx 6y agoNot sure if UK is having same level of medical break through as US.
- crooked-v 6y agoMost medical research in the US is, at a minimum, government-subsidized already.

- freeone3000 6y agoNo; the budget is going into insurance companies' budgets and pharma benefits budgets. There's a trillion-dollar industry that exists in the US solely to take money from people needing healthcare. That's where the money is going - look to the thing that doesn't exist elsewhere.
