Well that argument does partially explain why they started developing as a socialist state. They had a strong working class identity of people exactly like them.
But if your talking like, single payer healthcare and free/cheap college. You can see Russia and all kinds of other countries with a bunch of sectarian violence pull it off.
Russian healthcare sucks. But making it 100% private...basically zero evidence that would help. There's also not a lot of evidence that it sucks because it is single payer. It sucks because Russia is doing it.
And we suck when doing healthcare too. We have good 1st world healthcare here -- so that's not a problem. The problem is not everyone has access to it, and we are paying out the ass for it on a macro level.

We gave the market a shot. And again, and again..etc
It's not going to work. Single payer is pretty much inevitable. And it will probably be done by a progressive democrat 30-40 years from now when a lot of the current voter base is dead. You're not going to sell the boomer generation in their golden years that their lazy friend they knew in 1973 should get anything. He could have got a good job at any time! |
Big brain moment here.
They govbois could leave Medicare intact. Start single payer. Just cut off ppl born after 81 from medicare. Subsidize the old carpet baggers and call it a day.
No one has any real savings in this country though and they shouldn't when a few rabies boosters where billed at $78,000. The VA didn't accept it. Tho. Technically the VA isn't billing me. So..
Like wtf ppl.
