Health care for all

 

Where does the additional 18 trillion go?

The world may never know.

(We know.)

If there is a "middle man" he is going to get its cut. 

They mean because the right people won't be making money off of it.

We keep it because it makes more money for the right people (i.e. the already filthy rich).

It could be paid for without doing anything revolutionary!

The cost we pay out of our paychecks could be rationalized to a tax. And it would probably go down for many people

Then, the amount employers pay to the insurance company they use would instead be a tax to the universal Healthcare system! The only change is that the tax would have to account for revenue and employee amount (counting unpaid interns and part time) so that companies like Walmart can't get away with paying less because they fuck over employees. So there would be a calculation for both revenue and employees and whichever is HIGHER the company pays

Then, throw in some meaningful price regulations on big pharma and the system is paid for

Of all the struggles to fix in the US universal Healthcare is probably the most straightforward to solve because the money already exists! Hardly
