Yeah, so we clearly need to spend billions on a wall and not healthcare...

This story is total bullshit. You know that, right? It's just another left wing propaganda piece.
stevev45
Medicare for all is estimated to be 3260 billion per year. For the wall they arguing about a one time 2-10 billion.
amglasgow
which is billions less than we're already spending on healthcare
stevev45
I don’t think thats accurate.
amglasgow
We already pay billions for healthcare through insurance premiums and directly. All the money that goes to insurance companies currently.

squirreltactics
I've actually heard the opposite and sometimes pleading insanity is not the best option.

that's because involuntary commitment doesn't have a fixed term attached, whereas incarceration does

They're largely defunded.
skylin05
From what I heat mental hospitals still aren't that great..
stevev45
Turns out taking care of cray people is hard.
buttbuttpartywagon
We really need to bring back asylums
limerind
we also need a designation unattached to mental health for people incapable of caring for themselves
buttbuttpartywagon
Yeah, assisted living does have that but of stigma to it doesnt it
limerind
more like "ward of the state." we should provide for them while acknowledging that the cost of this are certain civil rights like voting
buttbuttpartywagon
if they're only physically incapable but fully mentally capable of taking care of themselves, why take away their voting rights?

You realise that every other developed country has a national healthcare system right? US alone does not, and it's fucked as a result.

That's not why it is fucked, hell, the US government pays more per capita on heathcare than nationalized systems.

But a nationalised system provides affordable healthcare to all, us has very little of that

faspro19641337
Ok, so what's the plan? Free for everyone? I'm an average wage earner who likes his coverage. I don't like government handouts.
delpharseven
Think of it as insurance that everyone pays into with taxes and the insurer is non-profit. No deductible.
valen00
We are going to pay half as much for it as we do now, you should be asking "what are you going to do with the extra money"?
stevev45
well currently it's a mix of individual, company, gov. so if it switches to all gov it's valid to ask how the gov is going to cover the dif.
delpharseven
Per capita, Americans pay more in *taxes* for healthcare than Canadians (PPP adjusted of course). Taxes would not have to go up.
stevev45
If what? Hospitals suddenly charged what they do in Canada, and everyone suddenly worked for what they do in Canada?
delpharseven
It would be phased in, but yes. Also a lot of profitable insurance companies would take a haircut.
valen00
by slightly raising taxes, by an amount that would presumably be half of existing insurance payments
stevev45
Raising taxes on who? How much is slight? I think the first estimate was like 3.2 trillion per year.
valen00
Well how about you think about it for a second and look at the rest of the first world and see how they pay half as much and do that?

I was suggesting that out of 49 first world nations with public healthcare the average cost is half of what the US presently pays.
flarflarf
America has so successfully marginalized the very poor that it's basically the same as being criminal.
thunderheat569
Honestly, I think it’s more marginalized the mentally ill/substance addicted. Admittedly, much overlap to the very poor...
NinjaCongo
Or, according to the guy in the post, worse.
SlightlyDodgy
Actually they have practically made being poor a crime
JustTakeItAtFaceValue
Correction: It makes being a criminal look, sound, and usually end up being better
Phlynch
No, we've so successfully incentivised staying poor that people would rather go to prison than look for a job.
SlightlyDodgy
Poor isn't a choice. It's an institutionally exponentially sliding scale designed to keep you poor, in debt because banks don't get rich 1/2
SlightlyDodgy
2/2 from well off people. The rich done ask for expensive loans, they just don't need them. They don't ask for credit like the poor do.

The irony is that money solves poverty and homes solve homelessness.

The irony is that poverty is caused by lack of money and homelessness is caused by lack of housing.

Lack of housing is caused by lack of money. Lack of money is caused by mental illness OR no marketable skills OR laziness.

the situation is better in rural areas, but those places do not have infinitely deep pockets and typically wont deal w/ mental health issues

they will increase it a bit. I paid $20 to see the doctor for bloodwork, shots and see the doctor sense I had to move in with my mom again.

I don't actually think this is true. I'm sure American poor have cheaper TVs or whatever but I dont think that's important.

Most poor people in America still have a bathroom, soap, a shower, a toilet, food, like these are things that many people don’t have

I know dirt poor people in Malaysia and yeah life is hard but no one lives in fear that they'll get sick and not be able to afford treatment

socialized health care and public housing and decent public transportation make all the difference. Most parts of America have none of those

Anyone can go to emergency rooms and get medical care and just never pay your bill. In fact, many are defacto homeless shelters.

You can slowly die of a chronic condition (ER visits & EMTALA reqs have their limits) or lose your savings/house to cover the bills.

If you're literally homeless, prison doesn't sound so bad. 3 hots and a cot indoors is better than freezing on the streets.

Shelters around here are full and have 30 day in 30 day out policies. Some make you do a urine test and if youre positive they refuse you.

Been to both. Prisons happen to make millions, where as the homeless don’t make squat. A person can even get a job in prison too.
epicfail331
Being homeless, the wonderful irony is being told to get a job, yet no one wants to hire a homeless person. At least I couldn't find one.
GlebReawer
Should society be set up in such a way that homeless ppl rather go to prison than shelters made for them?
stevev45
If that were true I think shelters would be less crowded.
Bandana7Jack
No. There are many reasons not to go to one but the other. It depends on factors unique to each person.

Okay then what do you have to say since you’re bitching?
