Universal Healthcare and Private Health Care: The pros and cons of each
in Politics
Debra AI Prediction
Arguments
Now, the problem with having both private and public healthcare is that the public healthcare is funded by everyone, while private healthcare is only funded by the end customer. This makes private healthcare non-competitive, since public healthcare is already funded by every single individual, and deciding to use private healthcare will have them pay on top of that. There is just no way to compete against that, and the only reason the private healthcare market survives at all on mixed markets is because just how inefficient public healthcare is.
Most nations featuring both public and private healthcare subsidise the private market heavily, to somehow balance the scales.
Exclusively private healthcare market would feature the most efficient healthcare system possible. I do not think such a market has ever existed anywhere, however, simply because how much power the government gains by taking control over the industry, making it one of the first targets in the governmental expansion process. The reason we have such insane healthcare costs in the US, for example, is because the government dived into the private market early and, through allegedly anti-trust and copyright laws, as well as safety regulations, took it under control. Those drugs costing millions dollars we hear about nowadays? They would cost a few hundred bucks, if countless agencies were not required to "inspect and approve" them, and if the right to make them was not given to a small conglomerate of companies having lobbists in the parliament.

This week I had a tooth pulled. I've been waiting over 6 weeks since I went to my dentist and he sent me to a dental surgeon. I laid in a hall with a ruptured quadricep tendon for three hours before I got treatment. EXTREME PAIN. There are cases where one is better than the other, without doubt. Universal is FAR better for the majority, as records prove. I wish some people would STOP talking about it as FREE. Nothing is free. If we take what we pay for Medicare and a supplement, co-pays, and (ridiculous) drugs, put it together and take the cost of hundreds of HUGE buildings, CEO costs, CFO costs (etc.), "health care "junkets" to expensive places each year, company vehicles, corp. jets, hundreds of employees salaries, away from private health care companies and reduce it to one large government building and smaller offices in each state, the cost of our "great health care" would plummet! Is the largest building(s) in your state an insurance building?? Almost without a doubt. THAT is part of our health care cost … a large part.
