“Despite this lack of action, affordable and accessible healthcare is easily achievable …the US already spends enough money on healthcare—an estimated $5.6 trillion this year—to deliver and pay for care for everyone in the nation, Sager says.”
Like passing “obamacare?”
“The US spends”... Who is Sager yakking about? The government? Medical insurance companies? Businesses that offer health insurance as part of their worker incentives? The individual person?
Well, it IS all of the above....
Except...the problem is the government has no money of its own, so must shake down the hard workers in order to pay its way, which is often about giving to lazy mofos who don't work hard like the burdened tax payer does.
Insurance companies will always need to make a profit, so things aren't free, and businesses offering insurance do so to keep and entice workers whose efforts give them profits. Individuals who work hard and earn money chose to spend it on their health.
Freebies for nothing is the problem, not the solution.
Obama is a hemorrhoid that never stops bleeding.
