Medicare, Medicaid, MA . . . etc received funding to PAY for health care . . . which is not the same as funding health care.
Its exactly the same in the end. Just different paths (and layers of admin costs and profit margins) to get there.
Universal healthcare: Citizens pay for healthcare through taxes.
Our system: Citizens pay for healthcare through both taxes, premiums, and out of pocket at time of care.
We choose to give the subsidies to private corporations and allow them to pad their profits doing so.
UH systems pay the provider directly, instead of funneling the money through 3 different for-profit entities to get there.
Our method creates multiple layers of admin cost that other systems do not incur. Along with an incentive to increase the cost of care (the ones tasked with regulating the cost profit more by not regulating it)
