"I don’t want to pay the government $20 a month for universal healthcare. I want to pay a private company $200 a month for healthcare that is only covered at select locations by select facilities by select doctors and can be denied at any time by the insurance company. Freedom!“
How did Americans become so stupid?
Your forgetting the fact that the health care providers can charge the government an arm and a leg. With “universal healthcare” there is a much lower incentive to lower costs and increase quality.
No they can’t. Single payer means that all the control is in the governments hands, because there are plenty of providers and only one payer for the entire 300+ million Americans. This is how single payer works. Medicare does this, for example.
In the current system there is 0 incentive to lower prices. The incentive becomes to charge as much as will be maximally paid.
Before you try to argue, the nhs, Canadian healthcare system, and pretty much every developed country that isn’t the US, would like to have a word.
