    Anyone else remember when the math came back and universal Healthcare would have saved the US like $11,000,000,000 every year or every 10 years or something.

    Anyway, they chose not to do that because Citizens United made bribery legal. They did pass a republican Healthcare plan that didn’t actually change anything. Just made it easier to pick who was gonna fuck you and how hard on a convenient website maintained by GovCo.

      11bill every 10 years is actually not a lot saved for a nation as large as the US lol annually makes more sense. Either way curious to see the stats

        It would be 11 billion dollars cheaper than what we currently pay to not have universal healthcare.

        Our governments literally spend more per capita not having universal health care then it would cost if we had it. Your tax dollars are being used to fund a system to turn your health care into a wealth getting scheme.

        Less health care is delivered and it costs more when it gets there. No one saves any money in this system.

          Dude I am supportive of those changes and I actually imagine it will save more than that. Are y’all incapable of reading further down threads? The skepticism is that it seems low

        Objectively better by every metric as proven by every actual modern country in the Sol System. AND it’s cheaper.

        “Either way curious to see the stats”

        Do you even hear yourself my guy?

          I’m not sure what all the hostility is about given I am inclined to think the savings are actually more and I would like to see the information. I want to know what you’re citing because I think it’s interesting not because I am skeptical, and I agree it’s a better system that will probably save money so having the information is probably a good thing?

          Point your guns elsewhere dude, same team
