>>16171737Socialized medicine saves money, a lot of money, that's why the entire world does it. Meanwhile the US spends much more per capita on healthcare than anyone else with much more dire outcomes for its citizens, because all that spending just goes straight into big pharma's pockets as profit. If America decided to join the rest of the civilized world, it too could pay medical professionals high wages to simply treat patients at cost and save literally trillions of dollars per decade.
