The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Al:You can't switch to single payer universal health care unless you slash what you pay providers for their services.

Jerry: The entire system--i.e. nationwide--has to be SP-UHC in order for it to work. No state or group of states can do it by themselves. The states NOT participating in SP-UHC system would simply send ALL their old and/or sickest patients to live in the SP-UHC area(s) long enough to obtain residency and thus be covered by SP-UHC. Then their cost shifts to the SP-UHC system. Worth the cost for the non-participating states to fund the temporary period while the relocated people wait for their new healthcare eligibility to begin. So, the SP-UHC system would need a system to deny non-participating states from shifting their health care costs to the SP-UHC.

What is SP-UHC? AI may have it wrong. :)

This is why "You can't get there from here." When I was 15 listening to my Army Doctor father talk against socialized medicine, I didn't realize I was listening to drug and insurance corporations totally interested in market and profit. Would we have to have an amendment to try single payer?
