I would say education is a more appealing solution to this problem than universal health care.
People similarly get unnecessary work done on their car to boost dealership profits.
Do you want to create a government agency to budget how much we can all spend on car repairs and then take it out of our taxes?
- ambicapter 2y agoThe difference here is we're talking about a person's health, not their motor vehicle, so a different calculus is in play.
- FollowingTheDao 2y agoThis is not about education, it is about morality. So maybe they do need an education, but let that be in empathy and moralilty. And why can't we have education AND universal healthcare? I want a government agnecy (the people) to control the morality of corporations and private equity. Like we have laws against fraud already that protects us from "unnecessary work done on their car to boost dealership profits". Adding still, why would anyone be against universal healthcare? I mean it is the biggest insurance pool you can create and that immediately lowers costs.
- dh2022 2y agoooh, dentists are very well educated in empathy and morality. They even have to take an ethical oath before they get their license. So is not lack of education, is greed and maybe a ton of student debt (or both).
- rootusrootus 2y agoThere is already an opaque bureaucracy that stands between me and my doctor. We do not have a free market in healthcare, so I cannot just choose another bureaucracy. I don't see how delegating this responsibility to a government agency can make it any worse for me.
