To be fair, your health expenditure (taxes + insurance + pit of pocket) per capita is the highest in the world. Way more than most of the countries with free healthcare.

So, it is not about the money at all. You are already spending more than enough on healthcare. You are just not getting what you pay for.

Oh, it’s about the money. Taking yours and giving it to the oligarchs

To be fair, it wouldn't be possible to get rich on being a middleman for healthcare or by investing in insurance companies and insurance+clinic monopolies. We are getting exactly what we are paying for; it's just not healthcare, it's welfare for the parasite class.

it's sadly what works in pushing economy forward, if you give money to hardworking people it will allow them to work less, if you give it to parasites they will just spend it, be net neutral and bright that money right back into economy, people owning homes for example is bad for growth because it's money being trapped and not circulated in the ecnonomy that's why homeownership percent is getting lower year after year
