  1. I think what people seem to forget is that the problem is far deeper in the US then health care, it's a fundamental mindset of the people that think more in individual terms and not collective for the benefits of society and all. The idea of a fellow American helping another is kinda seen as communist, and this is where the real issue is, not just on health care but in all social benefit programs in the US, and this isn't just health care, it's school education, the way the system treats its poor, how they treat prisoners and countless other things. The resources are there to change things, but unless the American people have a major change in their mindsets in wanting to create a better system for all and not always thinking about self-interest, then nothing will change. We should also remember, once you pass the burden of health care onto everyone by taxes, the system has an incentive in looking after the health and well-being of all, that basically means better working conditions, sometimes fewer hours, higher food quality and countless other things, basically, anything that reduces the burden on the health system as the cost is on all, and this can also translate into many other things like better funding for maintaining cities, the road network and so on, it's a mindset thing, without changing how Americans think, then universal health care won't work, and with that, nor will a lot of the other benefits that other modern countries take for granted, and this is probably a big part in all the division, poverty, inequality and other issues that are going on in the US, a system that shows little to no care for its citizens, it's more likely to create far more problems for society. I wish Americans luck on changing all this but honestly, I think a revolution might be needed, because all they are doing now is refining things around the edges which is doing very little to nothing overall, or maybe individual states could go ahead with a universal health care system, but the federal government would likely fight that, and even if the state did manage to pull it off, they would likely get flooded with Americans from other states, so that wouldn't work unless the state has it where you have to be a resident of that state for 5 years or more for you to qualify for universal health care to prevent the flood, if they didn't do that, the state would end up paying the health care of far more Americans from other states which isn't workable.
