Would you rather pay:
a) a bit more in taxes, and pay less, or <-- (UHC)
b) pay less taxes, pay high insurance premiums and end up paying more? <-- What USA has, now)
Paying Healthcare Premiums privately, is more expensive than paying it thru your taxes and having the government regulate the Healthcare system. It's just that simple.
Why can you not understand that it benefits you, financially, and actually ends up taking less money from your pocket? There is a reason that Americans pay twice as much(per capita) for medial service, but it still isn't even close to even being in the top 30.
Also, in countries with UHC, there are no bankruptcies based on inability to pay medical bills.
Reports from different entities are constantly published, such as the survey results of people with employer-sponsored insurance by the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) / LA Times Survey in 2019. The study found that 1 in 5 people surveyed have been contacted by collection agencies, while 9% of those surveyed stated they had declared personal bankruptcy due to medical expenses.
