It's been said countless times. Americans are right now paying way more for these services than they would if it was paid through taxes. The secret to this little scheme, that only every single other devolped country has figured out, and has been fucking screaming at you for a century, is that you cut out the middle men. The shareholders at the hospital, the shareholders at the insurance company, the shareholders at the colleges, the loan sharks making billions off of people needing to survive.
It's not very hard. Get rid of the people who only make profit off of people's suffering instead of helping the situation, and you get a remarkebly better result. Those middlemen are nothing but leeches. They don't actually do anything, they just siphon money out of the pockets of poor people.
America, the only place where this shit is happening, and for some reason, they're hellbent on never looking at how other countries do it, and live in complete denial, thinking they're the createst country in the world.
