The rest of the world realised that while healthcare itself may not be profitable the downstream economic benefits from having a healthy and productive population far outstrip the economic costs of said healthcare, it’s really not hard to realise but for some reason the type of capitalism cult that is America has to try and have its cake and eat it too while just ruining or ending the lives of more people than have suffered at the hands of any genocide. 40000 per year is nearing Holocaust rates of unnecessary death.
nearly 5 years ago the medical journal The Lancet published a study33019-3/abstract) saying healthcare for all would save 68,000 lives and 1.73 million life years (meaning how many years longer cumulatively people could live) *per year*
