I would pay for a retro gaming subscription that would give me access to over 1,000 games for $20 a month. Sega Genesis, Atari, Nintendo, Neo-Geo and so much more.

Well, I mean… to be fair, no healthcare is free. It’s just paid for (in many cases) by taxes. That’s the thing that isn’t ever talked about. Taxes. The US has some of the lowest regional, state, and national taxes because there’s no Healthcare taxes besides Medicare and social security. And even those are constantly being threatened to be deducted from.
If US had a set subscription for guaranteed universal Healthcare before the gov’t could get their grubby hands on it, then US Healthcare could almost be something to brag about
As of 2021, the US spent 16.6% of its gross GDP ($23.59 billions) on healthcare expenditures. The very next was Germany, at 12.7% of its $4.28 billion GDP. The US is spending more per-capita than any other OECD country on healthcare, it’s just not made visible by looking at the number on your tax report. You’re still collectively paying for it one way or another.
But hey, yay, low taxes. Good for you, I guess?
what lmao
I’m trying to figure out why you’re being downvoted. It’s possible I’m ignorant. However, it was my understanding that for the average individual in the U.S. we do have some of the lowest tax-to-GDP in the world. This is, of course, offset by drastic cost-of-living increases making any percentage of a tax increase an actual and substantial barrier. That said, any tax increase should come out of the top 10%. Everyone else has been paying the price for far too long.
Because they think the government is the problem with healthcare, not for-profit corporations.
They go hand-in-hand
