The $3000k/mo that people spend can’t be justified imho fwiw

would be better to spend federal funds on longer maternal leave rather than daycare scams

Quality matters: The piece argues that universal programs often end up low-quality because they’re cheaper, scaled quickly, and can’t provide the one-on-one interaction infants need — meaning universal from-birth care can harm more than help.

Bottom line: The article isn’t saying all child care is bad. It’s asserting that universal child care as currently being rolled out in some places — particularly from birth and without enough quality controls — might harm child development because of rushed scaling, low adult-child ratios, and insufficient individual interaction opportunities.

Anyways in case you haven't noticed public funds for dem programs are just stolen 30% of the time, and they offer shitty services. You clearly have no wife or kids and probably are some dorky ugly asian who was never really accepted by white people so you are bitter and want to destroy western civilization.

even Musk cant use a billion dollars of healthcare a year, so he would never be better off financially.

but for the 99% of americans, yes having a basic need met by the society that they live in would be good for them and for society.

How would they have "more expensive options for healthcare" if the govt became the Single Payer?

Why the Govt allow healthcare providers to charge whatever they want for medical treatment?

They don't do that shit with Medicare/Medicaid/Tricare, so why would they START doing that with Universal?

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5819074&forum_id=2)#49574277)

you don't even need to look at medicare or other countries. I live in a state that has universal medicaid for children. you can either be part of that racket and literally wait 6-8 months to see a Dr or pay WLRK 3rd year rates to see ppl outside the system.

There are only ~25 hospitals in the US in the top 100. So going there I get a hospital better than 99% of US ones. hmmmm.

sorry I like global hospitals that recruit from top american and other global med schools and residencys

Regarding the healthcare the military receives, I'm not sure that it's all that great given the amount of issues the VA has had. Seems like a total disaster overall.

Bigger issue (which I think you probably agree on) is that people think "free for everyone" will also mean "free and really good for everyone." But "free for everyone" just means "free" and quality gets pushed down because personal services don't scale without people and the quality of people decreases the more you bring into any system.

VA and active duty military gets 2 different healthcare systems. For active: TRICARE covers everything: primary care, specialists, hospital care, prescriptions. Its a full-service healthcare, similar to a national health system.

For VA, its a closed network, doesn't target all health conditions, and isn't national so where you live matters.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5819074&forum_id=2)#49576474)

Not sure that the active duty military population is really comparable to the general population of the US (including all of its old people.) It is always going to be cheaper to provide healthcare for younger and healthier people (because they require way less of it.)

As per other poasts, I am not opposed to some sort of single payer program and think our current system is basically just a handout to finance capital. But I also think people need to come to grips with the healthcare system doing less in general and taking more responsibility for their own health.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5819074&forum_id=2)#49584277)

Given how much high earners need to spend on health insurance, particularly if they don't work at a large corporation, it is absolutely worse than a normal single payer program. Especially if you have a family (or are starting one.)

The issue more broadly in America and in places with single payer healthcare is that people's expectations of the healthcare system are way too high. Far too many people abdicate personal responsibility and good habits that would keep them out of the system. Instead, they look to the healthcare system to keep them healthy regardless of their own choices.

And if you look at places like the UK, this is increasingly a problem. Their National Health Service is in dire straits on account of this. Especially as the quality of their demographics shifts dramatically.

If you get cancer and its state 3 or 4? Well that's what private pay or insurance is for. But you broke a bone? Here's an x-ray and cast for $10.

Really shocked to see poor MAGA people coming out against this in NY. I’ve never seen someone irl say they didn’t like 3k. It’s just a credit to existing daycares to cover the cost.

Idk at what salary can you even afford to have two kids in NYC without this?

Seeing nominal GDP grow is more important to these "people" than healthy families because they are completely fucking insane.

Even if, somehow, universal childcare could be rolled out where every kid has one-on-one attention at all times, it will never equate to being at home with a loving mother.
