    okay great, so you understand that concept. so why not scale that same thing? tax the ultra rich, partition people's income taxes to healthcare, and there's the fix. stop sending billions to our military budget that ends up going overseas to other countries each year, for example, israel.
    also, you mentioned how wait times would increase. you ever tried getting a kidney or liver transplant in the US? guess what! wait times are already a thing as it is!!! ever tried getting an appointment with a doctor/dentist/etc? there's already wait times.... lol just because hobos or people who can't afford healthcare would now have access to it doesn't mean you won't ever get seen by a doctor. in fact, it might incentivize more doctors to move to your area so you'll now have better access. your entire argument makes you sound class driven. i truly hope some day you grow up and understand your ways of thinking is... gross and illogical.

    Economic Effects of Five Illustrative Single-Payer Health Care Systems: Working Paper 2022-02
    "In this analysis, we found that economic output would be between 0.3 percent lower and 1.8 percent higher than the benchmark economy 10 years after the single-payer system was implemented, without incorporating the effects of financing the system. Under a single-payer system, workers would choose to work fewer hours, on average, despite higher wages because the reduction in health insurance premiums and OOP expenses would generate a positive wealth effect that allowed households to spend their time on activities other than paid work and maintain the same standard of living. If the system was financed with an income or payroll tax, gross domestic product (GDP) would be between approximately 1.0 percent and 10 percent lower by 2030, depending on the specification of the single-payer system and the details of the financing policy.
    Moreover, that wealth effect would boosts households’ disposable income, which they could then split between increased saving and nonhealth consumption. Although hours worked per capita would decline, the effect on GDP would be offset under most policy specifications by an increase in economywide productivity, an increase in the size of the labor force, an increase in the average worker’s labor productivity, and a rise in the capital stock. Additionally, we found that average private nonhealth consumption per capita would rise by about 11.5 percent by 2030. The average rise in nonhealth consumption is larger than it would be if the effects of financing the system were included in the analysis. The effects of a single-payer health care system on nonhealth consumption would be felt differently by people of different ages and incomes. The percentage increase in lifetime nonhealth consumption would be largest among younger and lower-income households after the system was implemented. If the system was financed with an income or payroll tax, nonhealth consumption per capita would be between approximately 3 percent higher and 7 percent lower by 2030, depending on the specification of the single-payer system and the details of the financing policy."
     
    Here's another one, in case you don't bother reading the first!
    Projected costs of single-payer healthcare financing in the United States: A systematic review of economic analyses
    "In this systematic review, we found a high degree of analytic consensus for the fiscal feasibility of a single-payer approach in the US. Actual costs will depend on plan features and implementation. Future research should refine estimates of the effects of coverage expansion on utilization, evaluate provider administrative costs in varied existing single-payer systems, analyze implementation options, and evaluate US-based single-payer programs, as available.
    What did the researchers do and find?
    We found and compared cost analyses of 22 single-payer plans for the US or individual states. Nineteen (86%) of the analyses estimated that health expenditures would fall in the first year, and all suggested the potential for long-term cost savings. The largest savings were predicted to come from simplified billing and lower drug costs. Studies funded by organizations across the political spectrum estimated savings for single-payer. What do these findings mean?
    There is near-consensus in these analyses that single-payer would reduce health expenditures while providing high-quality insurance to all US residents. To achieve net savings, single-payer plans rely on simplified billing and negotiated drug price reductions, as well as global budgets to control spending growth over time. Replacing private insurers with a public system is expected to achieve lower net healthcare costs."  
    Here's an extra, for good measure and all
    A Business Case for Universal Healthcare: Improving Economic Growth and Reducing Unemployment by Providing Access for All
    "If the United States were to implement a system to ensure universal care, American companies would no longer face a disadvantage in competing with businesses from countries, such as Canada, that provide national healthcare systems. Additionally, healthcare would cease to be a large factor guiding individuals’ career decisions. A national, universal care system would level the playing field among domestic businesses, and eradicate the free-rider problem. For all of the above reasons, economic growth would likely improve, which would yield additional self-perpetuating benefits. There is an argument that the taxes to finance such a system would constrain business. This claim is seriously undercut by examples from around the world. For instance, Hong Kong, viewed by many as a “beacon of capitalism,” has universal healthcare. So does Denmark, which has higher levels of entrepreneurship than the United States.92 What is becoming increasingly clear now is that the current employer-sponsored healthcare system in the United States does hurt business."



    Good job, you've successfully been lied to by capitalists your entire life and like watching people suffer how cute.

    TASTE. Such a gem of a film. That and Waiting for Guffman are classics, though I do prefer best in show everrrrrr so slightly. 
     
    the last thing I watched was Terrifier 2 and it wasn’t good but it was also not awful and it’s kind of funny they made that movie over two hours when there is barely a shred of a plot. The second half drags so much and could have been tightened up by just cutting a bunch of useless drawn out scenes. Also, the infamous bedroom scene IS insanely gory but in a totally not believable or serious way so it comes off as more goofy than anything. 
     
    I’ll watch the third one eventually I imagine just to see what inane way they continue to try and make this franchise have a plot tho.
