Could socialism fix American healthcare?

[@All-Is-Water]

They will never give it to us willingly.

[@joeldavis5815]

That is correct. They will never, ever willingly allow universal healthcare in this country.

[@Leslie-es5ij]

And the government is a big part of the problem.

[@GoldSkye]

They are running cover and legalizing what are obvious crimes by the healthcare companies.

[@hermenutic]

Taking the profit motive out of the healthcare equation would be the removal of one conflict of interest that makes American style healthcare the way it is. That would be revolutionary and wouldn't be violent.

[@patricialongo5870]

And they voted not to. The ideology of conservative USA is not going to become an issue, we on the left refuse! So it won't change.

[@3rdreichball525]

Absolutely not. We don't need socialized medicine. We need affordable medicine. The state running medical care is the worst idea. Do people seriously want their politicians to be their doctors? Because that's what will happen. They will tie the Dr's hands, so that they can only do what they say and not what people need.

[@manuelmoraleda9684]

The CEOs feel a certain 'ache' when a claim is approved. That means a certain erosion in the profit.

[@manuelmoraleda9684]

​Do you really want those multimillionaire CEOs running your health-care ? Other countries don't have those multimillionaire CEOs in their health-care. Think analytically.

[@kathieharine5982]

We live in the EU. Free health care for 55+, doctor's visit cost a couple bucks if paid with cash, no property tax for modest dwelling, salary about €3000/month, mild climate. USA sounds like a hell hole to live except if you are a billionaire.

[@amgguy4319]

2009 United Healthcare CEO Stephen Hemsley was paid $102 MILLION. He too "earned" it the old fashioned way, by denying life saving medical treatment. Brian Thompson was his protege. Stephen Hemsley is now the Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors for United.

There’s been creeping privatisation in the UK NHS for decades now and the right are continually trying (and possibly succeeding due to our incredible stupidity in the UK) to convince the working class that it’s the model that somehow is broken despite working so well for so long; rather than the deliberate underfunding by successive governments. If we were to allow the NHS to be privatised, we’d probably beat the US in stupidity. To have the best system and voluntarily give it up would have to be worse than never having the good system to begin with.

[@BlueTuesday-d1g]

That's really too bad. The US should be emulating the UK, not the other way around.

I'm Canadian. I have never paid or seen a doctors bill. no premiums, no copay, no deductable. I've had major surgeries. all my meds are paid for in full by Alberta Health. Care is excellent.

Let go of right and left. That's how the classes divide the masses. Now, it's only up and down.

[@titussardonicus338]

That's all well and good, but the left isn't going after trans people and immigrants and women. I can have class solidarity all day, but half the working class wants to kill me.

It's so easy to fix Healthcare in this country. A Medicare for all be charged a nominal fee in the form of attacks to cover the expenses. That fee would be much less than people pay every month to the health insurance companies. Done deal. What happens then to the health insurance companies? I don't care

[@rb4peace]

Sadly things are declining rapidly in the Uk. The no. of private providers in UK is growing - companies like Palantir are getting large contracts to process NHS patients data - Starmer’s Labour govt sees privatisation as beneficial 😮

Socialized medicine ends up being a system that is for healthly people and the people with health issues not getting treated. The reason is that, the system is not efficient, runs out of money and they start to cut. Once you hit a certain age you will not get a hip, or knee implant for example, you won't get a certain medication because of cuts. People with conditions like Pan Hypopituitarism, and others requiring various medications, will get very limited treatment.Finally, when the government really gets desparate they will start doing things like euthanasia (assisted suicide) like how that is now in Canada. A system like this sounds good but in the UK, and Canada they pay a lot in taxes for a system that just like we have continues to get cuts and leaves people stuck in a system that is not meeting their medical needs.

In Sweden education is not equal to money. EVERYBODY has a chance how far you want. But, you have to take a student loan. You have to pay that off, but it's a good deal. Low interest rate. This makes the country as a whole more educated and higher iq. Better mortality rate.

If you want free healthcare you best start taking care of your health . I’m not saying the perfect system isn’t horribly broken but I’ve a hard time defending those wanting free healthcare when they eat horribly and drink like hedonists , most Americans are grossly out of shape and it’s sad , do people not realize how empowering it is to be in good physical condition?
