I'm in the school of thinking it should be free but only for a certain subset of people

anyone under 18 should get free healthcare

over 18? sorry, time to pay for yourself


I can *kinda* see that. Granted, from a utilitarian standpoint, you really want to keep working adults aged 22-40 alive and in good shape the most because the system has concluded its investment in them and they're starting to pay it back to society. From a sentimental standpoint, everybody loves kids.

If healthcare were single payer, you'd save MORE money since preventative care is grossly neglected in America for that very reason


wtf? lolno, that's the stupidest fucking claim ever. If you're saying that the current costs are one thing when it's NOT being paid for by the government, you're not magically going to be paying less while covering everybody. That's just stupid. As for preventative care, there already *are* people on public benefits who don't bother seeking it. Unless there's a problem, people put it off. Even I spread it out more than I should because I don't like bloodwork.
