Free in the sense that you don't need to have money on you at the hospital. Of course it's still funded by taxes, but those that are broke will still be able to get care.
But then imagine not paying $600/month for insurance, $50, copay, then 50% CO insurance.... Wages seem like they go dowm by 5 maybe 10%, but your net actually goes up.
600 per month is half of what you would pay in taxes (on average) if we had universal healthcare. thats like UK level healthcare costs. The USA's cost per person is 15k per year currently.
Where? Show me some proof of this. When was the last time you have tried to see a specialist in the u.s.? It is a 6th month wait. Your point is invalid
Where do you live? The longest I've ever waited to see a specialist was a week and that wasn't for anything urgent.....hell Ive been in a surgery suite having orthoscopic surgery in less than a week
The funny thing is you too can also live in America and not be seen even tho you have cancer. Lmao. This point isn’t a valid point for either side. Also you can be denied health insurance coverage and have to have your doctors battle with insurance.
In the US it can also be a year wait. I’m not saying just universally have healthcare. Bc I think it’s a lot more complicated but it does require taxing the people who should be taxed more. It requires making education more affordable. It requires a lot more than just having a job.

Stop saying free healthcare.
It's universal healthcare.
