Single payer doesn't do anything though. Doctors and nurses have significantly better social standing than politicians, so when push comes to shove, the politicians won't be able to make the required structural changes that reduce the labor components of healthcare costs.
- voxl 1y agoSingle payer absolutely does something it's insane you would suggest otherwise. It's a basic counting argument: if 60 out of 100 are paying into the system but we have to pay ER fees for the other 40 not paying, then there is an undo burden on the original 60. If everyone is paying then the burden is shared. Let's not even imagine the utopia of a progressive healthcare tax! The shame of a "self-made business man" losing 5% more of their income earned over 200k!
