Well, the US healthcare system is a massive drain on US resources whether it's Obamacare, what was before it or what exists now.
Yeah, our nation could never function with healthier people and our economy would surely fail to expand.
What's your point?
The US healthcare system could be run without all the leeches which cost the US about 6% of GDP.
The US Federal Govt spends MORE on healthcare than the UK govt does. How? The UK govt has the NHS, a single payer system. Everyone gets treated.
Do more people from the UK come to US for healthcare or do more people leave the US to the UK for healthcare?
That's a complete bad example.
The US has some great healthcare, for those who can afford it.
The UK has good healthcare for everyone.
The US spends twice as much. Imagine what the NHS would be like with double the spending.
You know the Conservatives in the UK say the UK is spending too much on healthcare, and yet want a US style system, to enrich their friend.
Quality over quantity.
The problem here is that for many, there is no quality.
This is not a burger joint. This is not a car. This is human beings.
Every human being needs healthcare. Yet in the US it's only those who are doing well for themselves, or those who risked their lives so the rich can get richer, who get this.
"Quality over quantity" is bullshit.
Firstly because for the money Americans pay for their healthcare, they should be getting much better, Secondly because it screws people over.
