If Americans could wrap their heads around taking all of the money they pay for their health insurance ( premiums and co-pays ), and used those funds to pay into a national healthcare system, they might start to realize that national health care is a better solution for the majority of citizens, in comparison to this mess we currently live with. And if all of the healthcare premiums and co-pays went to a national healthcare system instead of private insurers, then it might not be additive to the deficit, which is 1 of the 1st talking points the lobbyists spit out.
Aye, but, you know, government bad...
Saw this on NPR today:
U.S. health care is the most expensive in the developed world and the price point is only rising. Last year, the average annual premium for an employer-based health insurance plan for a family of four was over $25,500. Of that average total, employers contributed about $19,200 and workers contributed the rest. Total premiums have risen over 24% since 2019 and are widely expected to surge next year.
