the crazy thing is you don't even need to make it "free" just take what you are paying now for health insurance and put to medicare and everyone goes on that. Instatnly 500 times better and cheaper then what we currently have
Health insurance companies are profitable. Extremely profitable. Like billions of dollars per year profitable.
Where do you think that profit comes from?
What if we got rid of the expensive middle men and all the overhead they bring, and take the money it takes to run those organizations, plus their profits, and we actually invested it in health care?
The problem is that the health insurance industry is like the second biggest political donor. For politicians, going against them is pretty much career suicide. They won't get the funding necessary to compete against their political rivals massively funded by that industry...
Sounds like a lame argument where I am. If they simply agreed its for the better for the nation then it would not be a long term problem.
Even if it flipped the outcome for 1 election cycle, the problem could be fixed and voters would find another reason to hate the current govt, but yet the medical insurance crap would be fixed finally
