$863, per person, per month, would pay for everyone's healthcare, apparently.
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/new-peak-us-health-care-spending-10345-per-person/ That number would probably be far less if all the various middlemen were removed, assuming all the government middlemen didn't end up even more inefficient and redundant all over again. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Roads are used by everyone, the military protects everyone, which is why those are paid for with taxes. Water doesn't come out of taxes, you pay for that separate. Roads are NOT used by everyone. The military DOES NOT protect everyone. Water DOES come out of taxes. The water bill only refers to private home use that you use from the line.

Much like roads, water lines are funded at least partly by "everyone", yet there's still no inherent right to have use of it for free. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Thank you for admitting that you want Obamacare or UHC. I know you're not talking to me but absolutely. Honestly, I'd prefer a govt. option for health insurance. Let it out compete the rest of the industry until everyone is on it then bam, single payer. I don't care if the rich have access to a private market where they can pay for better and quicker health care, but absolutely the govt. should at least act as an insurance provider. --- "Tolerance of intolerance is cowardice." ~ Ayaan Hirsi Ali ...

Even if you don't drive or walk on roads, you benefit from the economics of living in a country that has them. They have enabled trade and commerce to raise the quality of life across the board.
Likewise, even if you're generally healthy, you benefit from living in a society that helps the sick. It is supremely stupid to not acknowledge this. --- "Tolerance of intolerance is cowardice." ~ Ayaan Hirsi Ali ... Copied to Clipboard!

I don't see how you can take the politics out of it You can't, at all, so there's no useful purpose in worrying about it. We're already at the bottom of Reagan's Axiom here, and getting the government out is completely infeasible. Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it. A better, faster, more equitable, and much more effective solution to cutting healthcare costs is to remove third-party payers entirely, except for maybe catastrophic insurance and charity hospitals. When everyone has to pay directly, in cash, for healthcare, the costs will collapse drastically and immediately. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Why didn't you go full shit poster and use elective/plastic surgery, like sex changes or something? Real talk though, you're already paying.
