- codyb 5y agoDon’t most national healthcare programs also add in collective bargaining? I can’t imagine it’d be possible to support on state coffers alone without that.
- anamax 5y ago> Don’t most national healthcare programs also add in collective bargaining? Which of the major cost drivers in US healthcare does collective bargaining address? Yes, we could switch to paying marginal costs for drugs, but drugs don't happen unless the average costs are paid, so if someone is paying marginal, someone else has to pay above average. There are things that we could do to reduce said average costs, but we can do them without doing anything else.
