This thread is discsing NHC. Would you like to discuss your desire to take from your neighbors on multiple fronts?
Is there some universal law preventing the gov from establishing a uniform rate for purchasing a health care policy ?
Alright. So what about state schools? So what about public buildings? So what about parks? So because healthcare, without any research, could be the dearest, you want equal fees paid by everyone. Ok, got it.
It's a new system. We can set it up however we desire. I notice that you enjoy getting subsidized in hundreds of ways. How many ways can you accept something taken from your neighbors and transferred to you before you begin to feel guilty?
I paid nearly £40,000 in tax last year. That's more money than many people earn in the UK. The average male UK wage is £30,531. Can you advise me what my neighbor is subsidising me? That's income tax based on my P40 and P38D.
Oh, I get it. Another anonymous internet poster who just enjoys paying taxes and subsidizing his neighbors. Haven't seen that one before
Yes, if something can be privatized, then I don't see why they should be public. Private education is better than public education. Private buildings are better than public buildings. Private parks are better than public parks. But buildings and parks... sure let's have some public buildings and parks. They aren't super expensive nor are they necessary to a person's life. But education, healthcare, food, clothing, housing.. that should all be in the private sector. I'm not understanding what you mean by this sentence.
Obviously you're not. You pay high taxes and thereby subsidize those in lower tax brackets than you, because you care. Very noble
Because in the US it would be a brand new program and it would be good for at least in this program for everyone to chip in equally.
I'm not talking about any of those. I'm suggesting that if the US were to institute a national health service it ought to fund it exclusively with a new and separate tax that goes into a separate fund which would the the exclusive payment for the health care system. Further, I'm suggesting that every person receive the same monthly or quarterly tax bill for this tax.
Why can't individuals simply buy this wonderful policy directly from government instead of a private company like they do currently? There's nothing prohibiting this
They know this is logical. They want subsidized however. He'll never admit that he wants a wealth transfer
Yep. Since we all equally share in the benefits of government, why don't we all pay the same amount of tax? Why should some pay more than others when we all get the same thing?
Currently, government finances the majority of health care spending in the US, and that doesn't include tax subsidies. So far, single payer only "saves" money if there's a 40% reduction in payments to providers(over current, private health insurance pay schedules), and health care utilization ONLY goes up 9%.
