Why can't the U.S. just use Canada as a model?

Do you want to pay for healthcare for every deadbeat and welfare recipient?

Wouldn't we be better off paying for them to stay in good health rather than them being the source of the next pandemic?:

I don't have the patience to watch a March 2019 video of people droning on and
on for an hour.

When you say "paying them to stay in good health" what exactly do you
mean? Who's going to 'pay them'? We taxpayers??

Wouldn't the worst case scenario be having to pay for a pandemic that could have been avoided or contained?

And we ALL know those polls are never slanted and 100% truthful and honest.

How many seniors do you know who hate having medicare?

[ItsJoan NotJoann]

None. They hate the thought of getting older and having to use any type
of medical insurance but I've not heard one say they hate having Medicare.

[Bob F]

IT turn out, when people don't have to worry about cost every time they
go to the doctor, they are happier. And healthier. and live longer and
better. And cost a lot less to keep healthy.

That's why the rest of the industrialized world is healthier, happier,
live longer, have lower infant mortality. And spend 1/2 as much as we do.

Ignore the never-ending lies about how they hate their "medicare for
all". Few of them would not immediately condemn any effort to convert to
our stupid expensive system. People in UK demonstrated immediately when
trump suggested that they should change to our system.

It is more likely the insurance groups and lawsuit happy public that drive
costs up. Single payer won't address that. Look at any doctor you visit.
There is the doctor, perhaps a couple helpers or a nurse, and a large group
of office people filling out the paperwork for the insurance company that
the insurance groups don't trust and ask for more information. All that
overhead comes at a steep price.

One of my doctors made it clear years ago, a visit should be 1/4 cost of
what it is now.

Concerning "lawsuit happy public", hasn't suing become the American way?:
