+380Universal healthcare is a terrible idea. The United States has an unprecedented amount of debt. Where are we to find the money to provide medical services to everyone in the Milky Way, let alone all the other galaxies? It sounds like a good idea in theory, but it's just not fiscally responsible, amirite? Also about universal healthcare
+132Canadians: it's annoying when some Americans assume they know what it's like to have universal healthcare and exaggerate to make it seem like everyone in your country is dying of waiting for treatment. As if you're some third world country that doesn't have it's shit together. Amirite? Also about universal healthcare

I would gladly pay for services I use when I use them. Now we pay for everyone else and they use the services and it is too expensive for us use them and we keep importing nonpaying people to pay for. It's just crazy that all we get out of it is the bills.
Property tax is already a thing, as is the income tax. So long as people are being extorted for being productive, they're entitled to the same basic services. imo
If a country is doing fine with money universal care is a great deal, you pay higher taxes but you dont have to sell your damn house to pay for treatment
People with universal healthcare should not be in house fires.
It may take 3 - 6 weeks to get a doctor appointment.
Typical liberal. Doesn't think
that far ahead.If my house burns, it will take the whole neighborhood with it, so the VOLUNTEER fire company HAS to respond. Why do you hate innocent neighbors and bystanders?
If it's "paid for by everyone else" ... why can't my friend afford to go to a doctor, now that the ACA is law?
lol, if its paid for they should use it regardless. in a free society it would all be privately funded (and no the world would not end, private industry generally does things better then government)
The government tries to potray themselves as all knowing, but that is hardly the case. Unless there was a new branch of government just for it, it would never happen. Everyone gets charged but those with insurance have insurance pay for it so it is kinda already happening.
The question makes no sense, unless I had the option of not being forced to pay into the service in question.
If I had the option of not paying in, then of course I wouldn't expect to use the service, if I had exercised that option.
... and THAT is why they want a "single-payer" system. Tack it on to your taxes, same as paying for fire/police.
Sure, the more government control, the better, in certain liberal political quarters.
French govt spending (national, regional, local) amounts to 56.5% of GDP. There are those who would like to see US govt spending (federal, state, local) of 37.8% GDP rise to that level. That would "only" require American taxes to be raised 50% over what they are now.
