    i think we’re agreeing about the quoted statistics

    what i’m saying is that it doesn’t matter whether the government pays for medical costs or the individual pays for medical costs - those are all costs that the country puts towards medical care. if the individual didn’t have to pay them, they’d invest them into their life in other ways

    many people argue this stupid notion that the government doesn’t have the money to pay for healthcare, whilst ignoring the fact that the country as a whole does have the money to pay for healthcare - they’re just spending that money privately. if you redirect that private health insurance money to government, the money is there
