Yet health costs are cheaper in the countries that have implemented them (i.e. every developed country (it's hard to consider the US one anymore) and even some undeveloped countries). What's the average healthcare cost per person in your best example? We can extrapolate what the equivalent US cost would be from there. Also make sure you include whatever taxes are being taken out as part of the cost, as opposed to pretending that mending a broken bone is a dollar because it's subsidized by taxes. Actually I did the work for you. In Germany, procedures cost roughly half of what they do in the US: https://german-medicalgroup.com/page/for_patients/costs_of_medical_treatment/ So that $3.6 trillion a year becomes $1.8 trillion a year. Which means even if we raise the 1% tax rate to 45%, we're still about $1.5 trillion short in funds to cover it year to year. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
