shouldn’t even be a hot take, imagine suffering from a severe near-death injury but not getting any treatment because you can’t afford it
Agreed, the NHS has essentially saved my life as they were able to diagnose a condition that is quite rare and could’ve resulted with internal bleeding if i had done contact sports, so i 100% think healthcare should be accessible for all without a price tag. health shouldn’t be pay-to-win.
wow! Hope you are better now :)
Yeah I am! It’s an ongoing condition that I’ll have for the rest of my life but its easily managed so all good! 
Nice, glad to hear
Yeah, the american health system is better than the healthcare in the UK. (I live in a family of 6, we traveled to america countless times, so I would say I’m experience) Rather, in the UK there are way longer waits and lots of strikes. I do 100% agree with you though. The american healthcare is wayyyy too expensive. I think the solution might not be just make it 100% free though, maybe just make it incredibly cheap, which may make people with a runny nose not take up spots and make people who are in excruciating pain wait a very long time (which my family and friends have experienced). But idk
But overall I agree
you could make it 100% free and just improve patient prioritization. in the UK, there are other problems such as underfunding which make this type of organization difficult. this is also the reason there are so many strikes.
Yeah, true, I def agree the gov should fund it more
which equates to more taxes from the ultra-rich
How, exactly, do you tax the ultra-rich? I’ve never seen anyone actually have a plan to do this. I’m not against it, but they already pay over 50% in income taxes.
no they don’t. warren buffet pays a true tax rate of 0.1% (1/10 of a percent). they hide their money in shares/stocks, which are largely untaxed.
Another thing to note is that a lot of the ultrarich evade taxes. Including business too. Just look at things like the panama or paradise papers for example.
I still disagree, it should be completely free and it’s worth the wait. Our government should just fund it more.
sadly politicians here in the states haven’t gotten the memo yet :/
This is a veryyyyy hot take
wow i replied within 4 seconds
Dat’s crazy
