You're parroting as Germans pay $4000 in taxes per person per year for their national health care system. We currently pay $10 700 ($5000 in taxes) per person per year for our current system.
In the US, the cost for national health care is $10,000 per person, according to a left-wing think tank's analysis. Who pays the $40,000/year for a family of 4?
There is absolutely 0 reason a drug like insulin should be expensive. It is nearly 100 years old with only modest improvements since. This is pure corporate greed. I honestly think the government should take over all production of some types of off patent and critical medicines just so stuff like this is avoided. It ends up costing the taxpayers even more money for something that should cost $0.20.
The European middle class supposedly suffers so much, and yet the vast majority of them would still never trade it for the horrorshow of a system that the US has to suffer with.
That's what I'm suggesting. Get the US middle class to pay a huge amount of taxes and we can have national health care, too.
No they dont. Its mandated by the federal government in all provinces. Its not like one province has a US system and other provinces has universal health care.

You're just parroting your old debunked talking points as Germans do not pay very high taxes to fund health care. $4000 per person per year for their national health care system which covers everyone. We pay $10 700 per person for our current system. Thats the crux of the matter.
I bet they want a system that doesnt provide coverage for anything instead like you pine for.
why do you believe so? They cover some things but not others. By choice. Provincial parliaments are elected.
