time goes further than three months

US healthcare was far cheaper a few decades ago, especially proportional to wages.

why are you pretending it's just drug appointments

I did not, low medicine costs is one great advantage I know, and "pure free markets" would drop the price of everything. I thought I didn't have to tell so directly.

a hybrid system would be best

Isn't USA hybrid?

poor people would die

Welfare can't support everyone either.

Thing about US healthcate is having it socialized would probably collapse the nation with how unhealthy it is.
With the >30% obesity, crimes, seed oils etc americans will basically have a permanent unreliable insurance x3

Privatized healthcare kills the unhealthy
Socialized healthcare laps back to killing but with church organ playing.

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network @evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev imo the method of healthcare is a giant spook, the real thing that is killing healthcare is regulation, which is completely independent from whether it's funded via the free market or a socialist model

regulation imparts friction at every step of the process which is directly transferable to delays and human salaries to comply the regulation which is directly transferable to money

free market and socialist healthcare systems can both be overregulated and """underregulated""", the main problem is that passing laws is generally a one way process, into a certain direction, you guessed it, increasing regulation

but yes you're right this is ultimately caused by politicians :)

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network @evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev gee bill i wonder why healthcare costs are getting so out of hand these days, surely it's related to the burden of advances in modern healthcare and not just gratuitous self-flaggelation of our governing syste- oh wait
