You're already doing that with insurance premiums. Universal healthcare is that but cheaper because the government doesn't have a profit incentive to price gouge.

Cheaper for everyone except higher income folk. They would benefit from a multi payer, private insurance system as they would end up paying less.

Insurance premiums aren't decided based on my income. They're decided based on the probability of me needing healthcare. Therefore, we kinda are not doing that right now. Universal, single payer healthcare would mean that healthcare expenditure would increase with my income. If I'm rich, I would be very sad.

But I'm not. Also, eat the rich. Healthcare is a human right. I am very happy with the universal healthcare that I have lol. I wouldn't want it to go away at all. But again, I was talking about the technicality here.

Oh fuck right off. My political positions r my political positions because I've formed synthesis by evaluating both, thesis and antithesis. I consider myself a leftist. This however does not mean that I shouldn't talk about antithesis for leftist theses. We're not in a cult, uk.
