so let me guess this right, if we had universal healthcare before this, it would be a worse situation? what if everyone saw healthcare as a right not a privilege similar to other countries? if we had sufficient workers and equipment this situation would be worse?Universal health care would be a failure for different reasons. Most importantly, who would run it? Our inefficient government? We can’t trust those fools to do ANYTHING right! Even if they somehow agreed on a way to make it work, you now have over 300 million people with access to the current health system that is designed to handle far less, which will lead to shortages (not unlike the current situation). Shortages of equipment can be overcome with production, but shortages of quality healthcare workers cannot. If there’s one thing we know about government health care programs, it’s that they are only willing to pay pennies on the dollar for care and meds. This will not be an incentive for citizens to go into that field to be overworked and underpaid. It will lead to more generic drugs being outsourced to China and India. It’s no coincidence that outsourcing of drugs has exploded since Obamacare became law and now we are in such a mess because of it. Universal heath care is not a dream, it’s a nightmare.
one of the reasons why USA has a shortage of supplies is because of the outsourcing that happens. outsourcing has been a trend way before obama. how is that the USA increased production during the war but that cannot be done now? because it is people thinking that all choices are one extreme or another. that is what is going on right now in politics. there is a such thing as a middle ground.
obamacare did not work because there are people who do not agree on equality on essential services. some people think there will be a demographic of individuals who will take advantage of it. well that happens everywhere, however it is far greater in the usa because people are worried about the basic needs. there is are no easy solutions to complex issues like this but thinking it will be a nightmare before even attempting is the reason why the usa is in the current status of catastrophe.
