Is this comic from 1953? Or is it over 80 years old. It can’t be both, unless that tweet is from the future.
Also, the US budget for direct healthcare spending is over 2T, more than 2x the “defense” budget. Like, I get the message of the comic, but it’s not exactly true that healthcare is underfunded.
Medicare and Medicaid set their own prices and providers get direct payments from those programs, so shrug. There’s a reason Medicare is the blueprint for single payer (M4A).
