You have to eliminate insurance, that’s a key - but remember, back in the day, Blue Cross (which preceded Blue Shield) was created because hospital care, in the 1930s already, had become unaffordable.

Hill-Burton sealed the deal in 1948. Hospitals would be built with Federal money to Federal standards (which continue to escalate to this day), and as with all Federal standards, money is no object.

If you kill off the insurance companies (a very good idea), the hospitals have to become public utilities, or be outright nationalized.

People have not been able to pay out of pocket to sustain the hospital-pharma complex for almost 90 years, and it’s too late now to start.

UK National Health Service to Deny Treatment to ‘Racists’ and ‘Sexists’

What could possibly go wrong?

https://summit.news/2019/11/05/uk-national-health-service-to-deny-treatment-to-racists-and-sexists/

This is even worse than China’s social credit score, which to my knowledge doesn’t yet punish people by withdrawing medical treatment if they engage in wrongthink.

First it was deplatforming people from social media websites, then it was deplatforming people from bank accounts and mortgages. Now it’s deplatforming people from hospital treatment.

Literally eliminating people’s right to basic health care because of their political or social opinions.

This is where we’re at, and this is why the UK is truly the capital of Clown World Order.
