I understand the taxes just fine. I understand that the total numbers given for the UK system the entirety of the income tax.
I am not ignorant of economics, unlike you who think that the unemployment number is really 4.4%, something so astounding that even a person with almost no knowledge of economics could realize is a joke.
There are other factors that will make the US system more expensive. Obesity, the fact that doctors get paid more, are just a few. Again, it seems likely that the US would at least be paying as much in toatal taxes per person as the UK after universal care.
Given these huge differences, the best thing to do would be to look at universal plans that have been suggested in the US, such as Bernies plan, an see what it would cost.
But I forgot, your super secret plan is way different and better than Bernies (you havent mentioned how yet). Have you reached out to congress yet to let them know you have single handedly developed a super secret plan that will solve health care?

What?

Logical fallacy, but that's ok. I understand how the rate is calculated.

Yet, the UK is doing just fine...if we believe your numbers.

Cool. Now you are willing to look at these plans.
But I forgot, your super secret plan is way different and better than Bernies (you havent mentioned how yet). Have you reached out to congress yet to let them know you have single handedly developed a super secret plan that will solve health care?
And then you go full derp again.
Put the beers down. Pick it up tomorrow.
I have always been willing to look at plans. You are the one that won't provide the details of what you are talking about.
You are the one who refused to entertain free market solutions because free markets don't exist.
I have been posting sources about Bernies plan, the UK plans and others, and you have not posted anything.
You just keep saying nothing applies to your plan, it really good.
You were against the numbers that Bernies universal plan would cost and said we couldn't look at them.
So go ahead, explain to me how your secret plan is different than Bernies, and provide me with the data on what it will cost.

Seriously. Birth costs A LOT of money. The average household can hardly afford the crazy prices we have in America, and the gop wants to change medicaid coverage for births.. Why?
Seriously. Looking for some consistency - do you want people to be able to have kids, or do you want more abortions sought out because a birth can literally bankrupt someone if no aid is given?
The gop seriously makes me frustrated sometimes.
Reddit post that has me upset

I'm unfamiliar with how healthcare works in the US.
How is this possible? Why don't you have any health coverage?
