Universal, socialized healthcare is here now, in the US. It exists fully and completely.
The middle class ignores free clinics and medicare facilities unless they become destitute or desperate.
The infrastructure is here, now. This overt dissonance will end eventually, and the US will catch up to the standard quality of life other first world nations enjoy. I hope it happens in my lifetime.
- r00fus 15y agoAre you talking about Medicare or Medicaid (ie, single-payer insurance) or Veteran's Administration (ie, government-run healthcare)? Both are fiscally solid for decades, and yet are under attack by those who would profit from their demise. Not only are we not getting closer to universal health care (or even insurance) but recent news indicates there is majority political support (note: not the majority of public) for some form of medicare/medicaid reduction.
