Single payer healthcare isn't considered charity in any other civilized country, its a government service and our private system is bloated in the first place.

Single payer healthcare isn't considered charity in any other civilized country, its a government service and our private system is bloated in the first place. I'd rather have single payer over having a bunch of middle men leeching
- notch656a 5y agoI'm fine with some consensual system where those who opt in to it can engage in it. So long as I can opt out (of both liabilities and benefits), even if it means forever signing my rights away to public healthcare, it's all good to me. Consent about your health care decisions is important in my opinion. >bunch of middle men leeching Hopefully attempt here won't merely substitute administrators and insurance leeches for government bureaucrat leeches. I'm all for tossing out the leeches. Concierge / cash only medical offices are one way to do this, but a well run single payer system could probably achieve it as well.
- netizen-936824 5y agoI absolutely understand your concern about government leech's as well, I'm in the same boat. Too often do politicians just go with their friends or donors to supply services and contracts. Its a big problem that wastes a ton of money and time. I also think your idea of being able to opt out is interesting, I think this could be a viable concept but I don't know how it would be implemented. It would seem that there might be two parallel systems if that were to happen.
