Taxpayers, just like here. Only they manage to cover everyone for less money (per capita) than the government spends here.
They do not. Europe has a higher life expectancy than us, lower infant mortality rates, and medical bankruptcy doesn't exist. Likewise, we pay far more in premiums than they pay in taxes for healthcare. The average American spend 50,000 dollars a year for health insurance.
Our system is built around inefficiencies that make so much money they pay off legislators to keep the inefficiencies. The ACA is a step in the right direction, but we've got a long way to go.
It doesn't work? You might be jumping the gun a bit there.
Okay, so how much more money are we going to waste before making it "work?"
$3.83.
I don't know.
What I do know is that a bill that would have eliminated the need for insurance would not have gone over well at folks like BCBS. Shockingly, the substantial majority of health insurer donations go to .... the GOP.
Shocking.
Obamacare is a step in the right direction, but it still forces people to pay money for healthcare. We need a health care system similar to a public school system, except federally run. If it were state run system, states like tennessee and alabama would probably bar blacks and Latinos from using it.
