Everyone will lose their healthcare, that alone sucks. The improvement I think is by your metrics, not theirs. They like paying more taxes for social welfare and welcoming lot of immigrants (up to a point). that's incompatible with US culture.
- wakawaka28 8mo agoTheir socialized medicine generally sucks. I don't think there's anywhere in the world where medical is cheap and easily available in a timely manner. In countries with "free" (as in "government robs you at gunpoint to pay for it whether you want it or not") healthcare, people often end up paying for expensive private services anyway because of inadequate treatment under the government plan. Since you have to pay for it anyway, and there's no free lunch, I'd rather be able to decide how important my problem is and seek the appropriate treatment whether it is cheap or expensive. Also, insurance companies and providers play an elaborate game to maximize their profits and also scare people into getting insurance. Providers would rather deal with insurance companies than poor people and will cut these huge and exclusive discounts that don't apply to private pay.
