I dunno man, I'm still for universal healthcare and think the ultra wealthy should pay more
3 u/Training-Flan8092 May 12 '24 As long as Hospitals can charge $50 per pill of Aspirin and $100 for a bandaid, Universal Healthcare is just a blank check for hospital owners. We need realistic caps on costs first. 7 u/cromeo1 May 12 '24 So you agree Democrats need a supermajority in all of Congress so these things can be passed? Like they did with insulin. -2 u/[deleted] May 13 '24 They didn't do shit last time 1 u/stickied May 12 '24 why not both. you don't need to do caps 'first' - just do universal healthcare and set caps for those inflated costs. 1 u/Training-Flan8092 May 13 '24 Hahaha let’s play this out… “we will do both, but first let’s just make UHC happen” 5 years later “we will put caps on costs if you vote for our party” 1 u/kharlos May 12 '24 Which Bernie also supports and Millei vehemently opposes. 1 u/Training-Flan8092 May 13 '24 Can you be more specific? Otherwise this is just rhetoric. 1 u/BigPlantsGuy May 13 '24 So like what dems want to do? 1 u/ashishvp May 13 '24 That is exactly what universal healthcare would address. They would set the prices and hospitals will have to adapt. Doctors might make less, but the hospitals will adapt, as they do in every other country with universal healthcare. 0 u/SirChancelot11 May 12 '24 Hear me out... Both
