NHS costs 4600$ per recipient.

Current US public spending on healthcare (Medicaid, medicare, ACA subsidies, Veteran healthcare...) is 5600$ per capita (not recipient)...

We could lower taxes and give everyone free healthcare.

Fuck it, that extra 1000$ can go straight to the president pocket if he gives us Medicare for all.

    Honestly, present that to him, that's the best way to get positive change these days.

    Would be funny if he enacted a bunch of socialist policy just so he could make a one time profit, but leaving us all in a better place in the long run. Too bad his pedo buddies won’t allow it.

    The NHS is rapidly enshitifying and jumping in bed with AI and Palantir. Privatising has been a Conservative wet dream for a long time. Check back soon. We might be on the list on the right.

    Not directly comparable dollar to dollar, American doctors and (traveling) nurses are paid amoral amounts of money in many cases. Would still be significantly cheaper overall than the current system.
