It's all a bunch of hot air if Republicans stay in charge. There will be no change and we will continue to pay more for less. If you doubt me, take a look at the first two years of the Trump administration.

Singapore is able to deliver universal coverage and the best health outcomes in the world while spending 77% less per capita than the United States and about 60% less per capita than the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, and other advanced industrial economies.
"Providers post prices in Singapore, and people have plenty of money in their HSA balances to cover out-of-pocket expenses. As in the United States, regulators set coverage standards for private insurance companies, which then accept premiums and pay for costs in excess of the annual deductible. The government also directly pays for health care for the indigent.

The result is a system in which government spending constitutes about half of all health-care spending, as is the case in the United States. But because prices are so much lower, the Singapore government spends only about 2.4% of GDP on health care. By contrast, government health-care spending in the United States runs at 8% of GDP. "

Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system.

In biology, such behavior of cells is called "cancer".

Singapore's Population in 2019 - 5.8 Million.

And you're going to compare that to the healthcare of the United States 328 million?

WOW!

What a fool!

The very sick and infirm need to be removed from regular insurance and into state sponsored plans, so the healthier don't have to foot the bill.


Brilliant!

IQ79 strikes again!

(hint: the taxes that the healthier pay are what pays for the 'state plans'...fucking moron!)
