“Public healthcare is dependent upon sufficient numbers of young people to rob of their future in order to fund it.”
K-12 school budgets are online.
My pocket has been picked for decades.
Junior and the Little Princess that got 13 years each of “free” public education (and often Medicaid/Kidscare) had better be prepared to reciprocate.
If I have to get health care in Mexico (or Slovakia)(Saskatchewan charges furriners three times the Canadian price), Little Princess Nurse should use her expensively educated brain cells to figure out what will happen to her income.
As I said, educating the population results in a financial net gain because those children end up paying for their education and contribute positively to the tax base. It’s a net positive to society to educate them. Not educating them would result in a poorer society.
This is not the case with healthcare. There is no net positive for society to use others to pay for your healthcare. It becomes a drain on them and inhibits them from having a future for themselves. My future was completely compromised by paying for my country’s healthcare.
Not ony do I not get healthcare when I will need it, my ability to financially support myself during this period is non-existent. The public pensions are not going to be there. I’m not going to have healthcare. The money I could have used for my benefit is spent. The kitty is empty.
Jr and Miss Princess will have paid back society by being able to earn higher incomes and contribute to taxes when they work. This is why public education is justifiable and healthcare is not.
