We're about to do to Medicare what the UK has been doing to the NHS. Government programs don't work when you cut all their funding. There are plenty of normal countries with functional healthcare systems.
- itake 1y agowhen funding is cut, do surgeons perform less surgeries or the supply of healthcare remain the same, but there is lower demand due to limited access?
- pseudalopex 1y agoHealth care is not a single good. Facilities close. In the short term some doctors shift to providing elective services to people who can afford them. In the long term the numbers of doctors and nurses per capita decrease. Frustrating people until they give up does does not lower demand in any important sense.
