Why should someone sell food for a profit? We literally DIE within DAYS of we can't get food!
You see the issue here right?
Now.. who pays is the question. Imo it must be the state, because otherwise there are too many perverse incentives.
- akramachamarei 5mo agoYou don't foresee perverse incentives for the state being the buyer of healthcare? Namely, they aren't the patient, so the incentives have already been divorced is remote, plus they have an incentive to divert funds to consultants, regulators, and lobbyists that the actual consumer doesn't care about. There's some saying about how no one spends someone else's money as wisely as one's own.
- boxed 5mo agoStates have huge incentives to keep the population healthy though. Sick days aren't a tax base.
- thefz 5mo agoWhat about keeping a healthy population for the sake of keeping a healthy population? Why should everything be intrinsically tied to profit in your minds?
- boxed 5mo agoThe previous posted talked about incentives. I countered using their intellectual framework. This is just normal debate.
- AngryData 5mo agoTo be fair, farms average 1-2% profit margins at best, its not like they are making bank off you, it is barely enough for most farms to survive even if they got 1,000 acres.
- thefz 5mo agoState funded healthcare is not for profit so your whole point is quite wobbly. State funded anything is not for profit, too.
- boxed 5mo agoI was arguing against the previous poster using their logic. I agree the logic is stupid :P
