Universal healthcare: + no hospital shareholders wanting dividends + no insurance company wanting fees and copays while denying coverage + triage/treatment based on medical need not ability to pay or fear of liability issues. = better care, more cost-effective. Only profiteers prefer private.
What many times is missed in the discussion between publicly funded healthcare vs private. Is that in the publicly funded one, all decisions by the directors are made towards improving the health outcomes of the population while with private, it is towards how much profits are generated.
Sadly true. Public also trashed with BS about who deserves it and fear mongering misuse driving up costs. Look how GOP have talked about Medicaid while cutting folks off! US system is more expensive per capita because it's two-tier and privatized. Costs more and delivers less for most people.
