    You mean if we can afford private insurance, we can afford universal healthcare.

    It would cost less in tax dollars than the majority people pay for it now to collectively bargain for lower drug prices. Significantly fewer intermediaries taking a cut and driving up the price of everything.

    Universal healthcare makes social AND economic sense

      Well, not for all those intermediaries… and the people who get a cut from thier “productivity”. That’s the real barrier, rich people siphoning money off of a process they don’t meaningfully contribute to.
