[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think we should have better socialized medicine. It’s not capitalism all the way or we turn into Cuba. There is lots of middle ground. Western Europe does well with capitalism but has a much better ( not perfect) health care system and provides better for the elderly etc. [/quote]

Agreed, healthcare should not be tied to your employment.  Everyone should have access to basic healthcare thru the government.  Then there can be added options that you can pay for if you so choose...much like now.  we pay for concierge medicine so we have quick, easy access to a doctor.  Get the flu, we just message/text/call and in less than 1 hour our tamiflu is waiting at the pharmacy, same for covid and paxlovid.  And if I'm sick, my doctor calls me within 2-3 hours to discuss my health, all at no extra charge (that's what the monthly fee I'm paying for covers)  Should I need treatment for major health issues, they will fully coordinate my care and even attend appointments with specialists if needed (but typically the specialist is within the same hospital system so they just communicate as needed) 
But everyone deserves basic healthcare at an affordable rate.  It will save $$$ for all of us.  Who do you think pays for someone without healthcare or with a high deductible who cannot afford to pay for their doctors visits? we all do, and that person typically waits until its bad and they end up at the ER, costing much more than if they went to their doctor or urgent care 2-3 days earlier. That is one reason hospital bills are so high---we pay for the underinsured/uninsured.
