Summary
Polls show a majority blame insurance and pharmaceutical companies for high costs, denied claims, and access issues.
Only 44% rate U.S. health care quality as “good” or “excellent,” a 20-year low.
Support for government intervention is rising, with 62% favoring federal responsibility for universal health care.
Meanwhile, satisfaction with the Affordable Care Act has grown, with 54% approving.
Trump’s unclear health care overhaul plans are entering a polarized environment where Americans remain split on private versus government-run systems.
“Subsidies”, lol. USSA subsidised its private health insurance companies more, than any other in the world. Private companies are great at double-charging. That’s why healthcare should be single-payer system.
Or universal has limits on coverage thus making poor who really need help unable to get good care
What do you even try to say? Let’s say I break leg. In country with UHC I will:
- Be transported by ambulance
- Get x-ray
- Get surgery if needed
- Get cast
- Get stay in hospital if needed
- Get cast removed
- Go home happy and healthy
In country without UHC I will:
- Pay
- Pay
- Maybe see a doctor
- Pay
- Pay
- Pay
- Maybe get cast
- Pay
- Got sent home and pay
- Pay more
- Maybe get bone to heal, but neither be happy, nor healthy due to malnutrition
- Get cast removed for extra payment
In first example I spent about 1$ for metro ticket back home, while in second one I would be bankrupt 12 times.
What if you have a tumor that needs to be removed but the doctors determine it isn’t cancer. How long do you wait?
