Governments have already paid for the production. Rich people paying hospitals would funds hospital coffers and not go further.
If you think the states should get the money, then taxes are a better approach.
Giving this to rich people does nothing to further immunity in vulnerable sectors of the population - it weakens that goal.
- twblalock 6y agoI have suggested, in another comment, directing the money to states rather than hospitals. We don't need to take the narrow view that hospitals are the only way to do this. Let the states run the show, let them take the money, and let them use the money for social services, or to reimburse hospitals for vaccines, or whatever else that will make a positive impact.
- georgebarnett 6y agoI find it ironic, that in a nation that complains so bitterly about its healthcare system and the associated costs of care, there are so many willing to exponentially increase the costs of an item just because people need it and some can afford it. Your approach baffles me.
- twblalock 6y agoI'm just working in the real world. If you can wave a magic wand and bring socialized medicine to the United States I'd take it. Until then we must rely on market-based solutions.
- georgebarnett 6y agoWith your actions, you build the world around you. Saying you would take socialised medicine and yet prioritising actions which oppose this goal mean it’s not what you actually want and so you’ll never get it.
