Everytime you purchase auto or homeowner insurance - you are paying for someone's healthcare. Because all those companies pay for insurance for their employees.
I have no way of knowing if you really do or not, but assuming you are doing ok financially but not a multi-millionaire what would $500,000 do to your financial situation? That's just about what a liver transplant costs
Heck what do we do about healthcare for the struggling middle class?
One amazing thing about that. Most middle class people get their insurance through employment. If not they would never be able to afford it. I always found it amazing how many people have no idea what their employer is actually paying for their insurance. They only know what is taken from their paycheck towards it.
I'm not sure what a "San Fransican" is but there are homeless people all over the US and that's probably a topic for another thread since there is little if any relationship between healthcare and homelessness.
San Franciscans. Happy?
There shouldn't be any homeless people in San Francisco. The left-wing supposedly "cares" about the poor, remember?
Shelter is even more of a critical life-sustaining need than health care.
The US can provide reduce healthcare for all, except the rich, by reducing the military budget and eliminating foreign aid while increasing healthcare budget. In addition, the cost of medicine can be reduce by allowing foreign medicine to compete with US pharmacy. At moment, us pharmacy are operating like monopoly with no foreign competition like car manufactures before the US open it's markets to foreign car manufactures. However, republic nor democrats will reduce the military budge, eliminate or significantly reduce foreign aid, or open us medicine markets to foreign competitors. A republican controlled congress will not pass such legislation nor when Democrats had full control of congress.
Realistically, I don't think the system will change until people start revolting or at very least start threatening to remove from power any politician who votes in favor of pharmacy or military manufactures. In my opinion, the system will only be fixed once a complete collapse has occurred or when another power supersedes or threatens USA dominance.
Oh I dunno..but easier access to birth control and abortion could fix a lot of that, as would teaching about birth control in school.
Not necessarily. This should be eye-opening...
Fully 1/3 of the respondents in this study believe that the government pushes free birth control as a means of deliberately limiting the size of minority populations. They view the government pushing birth control on them as racism:
