it's still not universal. good, but not universal.bc 3% of ppl don’t want insurance. There’s a sizeable population of the United States who don’t want to pay for any type of insurance.
They want to take that risk, and although I disagree with them and think it’s dumb. They have the right to do that or not
The public option isn’t just picking between private or public insurance. It’s also the option of picking neither. There are millions who choose to do that every year.
And those people vote.
The Pandemic Could Overwhelm the Insurance Industry; Expand Tricare for Everybody Who Needs It
- Thread starter FAH1223
- Start date
The real problem will be the shortage of doctors, nurses, and beds.
Insurance and other cost should be afterthoughts.

there can be more than one problem with something. private insurance isn't built to withstand a pandemic and that's not a problem.The real problem will be the shortage of doctors, nurses, and beds.

you yourself have said private markets can't withstand acts of god, so stop being a cry baby contrarian.
Private, employment based insurance is not a good solution for a pandemic that craters the economy and doesn't let people go to work.

87.5 % of germans are on the public system. besides this article isn't about how efficient private insurance is it's about how private insurance will be fukked over financially by the costs of the pandemic.If there arent enough doctors/beds the system doesnt matterAll around the world both systems have been overwhelmed.
Not sure why this even being made into a private vs public debate.
Germany's system of public and private is handling it well, probably best.... so
our current system is asking private providers to act as public health providers while getting their primary source of funding(employer contributions) cut off.
moving ppl to tricare helps the unemployed get coverage and helps the providers get paid.

Fast Money & Foreign Objects
I'm not going to lie you chief, I have no idea how country level finances work because we keep spending more and cutting taxes and yet we keep chugging alongCouldn't the same be said of tax revenue?
. I thought the Iraq war and bush tax cuts were going to kill us.. then came TARP 
,So my answer right now is.. no the same couldn't be said. When a regular person or company runs out of money they have to close doors but the federal government just keeps the money printers brrring
edit:
I was always told that printing more money leads to inflation but apparently we are struggling to even hit our inflation target of 2% and are at risk of deflation Prognosis poor for the Fed's 2 percent target

I wonder how many more doctors and nurses we'd have if it didn't cost a fukking arm and a leg to go to school to be either of those things.
