KairosUniversal healthcare would cost the government an additinal $0.00 because Medicare and Medicaid are stupid expensive already.
The US already spends more per-person than most states with socialized medical care. The difference is that in America that money goes to insurance companies and billionaires sitting at home while in socialized medical schemes it goes to doctors and nurses and for medications and facilities.
I think merelly “spends more per-person” is nowhere strong enough to really illustrate how bad things are.
For example, the United States spends more than TWICE per-person in Healthcare than the United Kingdom.
In fact judging by this it spends almost twice as much as the European country which has a 69% higher GDP per-capita - Luxembourg.
