So how much would it cost to give American’s healthcare?
Health care somewhat pays for itself. Not the really sick people, but making sure workers are healthy to actually work properly has a massive return on investment.
The other part is taking care of general health. Things like cars, bad food, all sorts of pollution and so forth really are bad for health. If you have public health care it is often cheaper to fix the underlying issue then to treat the problems coming from it.
0, USA has no interest in giving people free or extremely subsidized healthcare, they lose thier political wedge issues, trump card for both sides. the DNC can say they would to wet thier appetite, and the GOP can say they are against it, because of this or that is not effective. and also REPUBLICAN recepients make up a large percentage of medicaid, snap benefits too.
I know a Trump supporting single father, who as someone it is absolutely meant for, uses SNAP benefits. And then turns around and says it shouldn’t exist and votes for Trump. The people are all dumb, government will hang their carrots and nothing will change weeee
