One thing I don’t understand is why some people are against charity and religious organizations running hospitals next to government-run hospitals. One is funded by donations, and the other is funded by taxes. If we wind up with universal care using multiple providers, what is the problem? The end goal is that people get the care they need, and they are more likely to get that when there is more than one gatekeeper.
The United States is huge. You could fit all of Europe inside the U.S. Yet they don’t have ONE Europe-wide healthcare system. Each country has their own. At the very least, each state should have its own health care system, although a local network would be better. And we should not abolish charity and religious organizations from running hospitals. They should be part of the health care ecosystem as well. That way people have a choice in care since there are multiple providers.
How? I never said we abolish hospitals run by charities or religious organizations. You can have a government-run healthcare system run alongside charities and religious organizations. I don’t think hospitals should be for profit, though. But the government does not have to be your only choice.
It’s centralized government operated healthcare, you’re just advocating for more centralized healthcare.
