None of your post answers the question - where in the constitution is the authority for the federal government to take money from some citizens to pay for health insurance for other citizens?Works for every other first world country and we end up spending more for less care.
What part of yourself enjoys paying more to the middleman.
Among 11 countries, US ranks last for health outcomes, equity and quality
Among 11 countries, US ranks last for health outcomes, equity and qualitywww.beckershospitalreview.com
"The U.S. has spends more on healthcare than any high-income country, yet Americans have poor health outcomes and a worsening life expectancy when compared with other countries, according to a report from the The Commonwealth Fund.
For the study, The Commonwealth Fund assessed the healthcare systems of 11 countries, including the U.S., based on these five areas: care process, access, administrative efficiency, equity and healthcare outcomes. Data was collected using international surveys of public and physicians, from 2015-2017.
Here are the three things to know:
1. The U.S. ranked last place among the 11 countries for health outcomes, equity and quality, despite having the highest per capita health earnings.
2. The U.S. also had the highest rate of mortality amenable to healthcare, meaning more Americans die from poor care quality than any other country involved in the study.
3. Poor access to primary care in the U.S. has contributed to inadequate chronic disease prevention and management, delayed diagnoses and safety concerns, among other issues."

You might pay slightly higher taxes but end up spending less overall since you're no longer paying for health insurance and premiums.

Someone should offer that up as a private plan, optional to join. That's what we call liberty.The Department of Health and Human Services also measures the total amount spent on healthcare in the US, including by states, private citizens, the federal government, businesses, and more. This all-encompassing number is known as the national health expenditure, or NHE.
According to the Mercatus model, total health spending would actually come in about $303 billion lower in 2031 than under current projections, with $7.35 trillion going to healthcare that year versus $7.65 trillion expected now. Total national health spending would be $2 trillion lower from 2022 to 2031 under the plan, the report found.
That study going around on Bernie Sanders' 'Medicare for All' plan comes with a big catch — the US would actually be saving money overall on healthcare
A new report found that Sen. Bernie Sanders' "Medicare for All" plan would cause healthcare costs for the federal government to skyrocket, but it would also end up saving the US money.www.businessinsider.com
All I'm seeing is better access to health care for everyone for less money spent overall.
That's not how it works, everyone has to be in. Collective bargaining power. That's how countries like Canada are able to negotiate such low prices for drugs.Someone should offer that up as a private plan, optional to join. That's what we call liberty.
It's not Free, you are still paying for it. We're just cutting out private health care insurers. I didn't know people were coming here in masses from Denmark. Sweden, The UK. Canada, Australia. This is not some wild concept, it's the norm..... And still people are coming from ALL of those countries to the United States for medical procedures because... What? Their "Free" systsms are so much better?
There's a reason that the description "Free" is almost ALWAYS synonymous with "Sucks"
They can because the law allows them to. Our laws prohibit the largest single purchaser of drugs (Medicare/Medicaid) from negotiating.That's not how it works, everyone has to be in. Collective bargaining power. That's how countries like Canada are able to negotiate such low prices for drugs.

The constitution doesn't say anything about wiping your ass after you crap but I bet you still wipe. It's a living document, we're not beholden to some 200 year old document when it makes good sense not too.None of your post answers the question - where in the constitution is the authority for the federal government to take money from some citizens to pay for health insurance for other citizens?
There's a reason you didn't answer that; [actually, I suspect there are two reasons: The first is, you've never read the constitution, the second is...] because it just ain't there. The government doesn't have the authority.
Liberty is Freedom... Not Other peoples $$$ for free.Where is the liberty when you are tied to a job for health insurance. Where is the liberty in being raked over the coals by crazy premiums. Where is the liberty in watching children die because care is cutting into some CEOs profit margins.
The liberty is in the freedom to choose.Where is the liberty when you are tied to a job for health insurance. Where is the liberty in being raked over the coals by crazy premiums. Where is the liberty in watching children die because care is cutting into some CEOs profit margins.
Which means they have no jurisdiction on regulating your ASS or selling it to others to use for free. ( Unless youre into that sort of thing. )The constitution doesn't say anything about wiping your ass after you crap but I bet you still wipe.
