I had a dialog with a senior hospital administrator the opposite day, and the topic of common healthcare got here up. I discussed that the US is the one nation within the developed world that doesn’t supply this to its residents.
He made it clear that this can by no means occur in in America, as a result of our inhabitants is simply too massive. I had two responses:
1) Massive numbers are literally good for insurers, whether or not they’re non-public or public. Positive, in a inhabitants of 330 million there are extra sick folks than there are within the populations of medium-sized European nations like Germany, France, and the Netherlands, however there are extra wholesome folks too.
2) Civilized nations don’t have folks struggling and dying from treatable illness–even when by some means there are bills related to stopping this from occurring. The concept individuals who fought for this nation are actually dying within the streets as a result of they will’t afford healthcare is totally disgusting.
The man actually had no replies–even to my second level. Yikes.
