It appears that in every thread about this event there is someone calling everyone else in the thread sick and twisted for not proclaiming that all lives are sacred and being for the death of one individual.
It really is a real life trolley problem because those individuals are not seeing the deaths caused by the insurance industry and not realizing that sitting back and doing nothing (i.e. not pulling the lever on the train track switch) doesn’t save lives…people are going to continue to die if nothing is done.
Taking a moral high ground and stating that all lives matter is still going to costs lives and instead of it being a few CEOs it will be thousands.
Number 3 is the best argument for national insurance. (Saying public might imply it’s tradable, this isn’t what I’ve meant)
Do you have detailed numbers or just a feeling?
UHC covers far more people than most national systems despite not being national (I’m sure china is bigger, but most countries have much smaller populations). National systems often have ways of saying “that isn’t covered” that mean the claim isn’t even attempted. there are many different national systems with different rules. There are lots of other complications here that need to be studied in depth.
