          We pay plenty in taxes to cover healthcare already. It’s just wasted on a bloated military budget. That and lobbyists prevent any changes that would negatively impact the healthcare industry’s bottom line.

          Every tiny bit of interaction with the medical system in the US costs a multitude of what the same interaction costs in other countries.

          There’s a reason why “international medical insurance” for say European travelers excludes the US by default. And if it includes US, it costs 4-10 times as much.

          You pay more for it in the US anyway, and don’t necessarily have anything to show for it.

          It’s just lose/lose for the US people.
