  1. Trump, Schultz, Diamond, Bezos, etc. the whole oligarchy is demonstrating that there is a limit to wealth and its income to one person until it becomes a disaster to us all. Nations with universal healthcare pay 50% less per capita, with better results for it. It's fact year after year from various WHO and Common Wealth Fund Reports Mirror Mirror reports since 2000 to present. Anyone who has friends and has traveled abroad in these countries have first hand experience how backwards our medical system in the states truly is. Employers actually save money in these other countries as the range of matching payroll on healthcare is ranges like in Canada 5.3% to Germany's 7.3% with max caps in both countries Canada it's about $2,800 max healthcare contribution tax and Germany its about $4,800 max contribution for both employee and employer matching contribution. UK though 13.8% match remains for most situations on employer with no cap. My shitty high deductible plan with HSA company contribution of $500 cost the company $6,300 for the year and my premiums I paid were $1,300, and since I had an oral surgery and a normal Rx I take for cold sores last year I paid out of pocket additional $1,200. It would cost less for employers. And it would ensure lower copays, no deductibles, and no more gambling on healthcare. I literally wait to see a doctor or dentist (other than 2 cleanings a year) until things get bad. I still don't have a primary physician. It's just too damn expensive even with what can hardly be called insurance, it's more of a silly ass gimmick discount program. I would rather pay 6% to 7.3% (as the Germans) with a max annual contribution cap. Or do what the UK does in terms of taxation on their NHS which is a progressive payroll structure: £118 to £166 a week (£512 to £719 a month) 0% £166.01 to £962 a week (£719.01 to £4,167 a month) 12% for most situations Over £962 a week (£4,167 a month) 2% Employers contribute 13.8% on income in the middle and over for most situations (it's categorized by are you disabled, retired, single, married, taking care of someone disabled or elderly, age, etc. with letters on their chart). https://www.gov.uk/national-insurance-rates-letters Either way, all these nations pay half the per capita cost we in the US do, and they get better results. Probably because people are more likely to go to the doctor since they don't fear a big bill, getting treatments early before even more expensive things develop. The other component that ensures they don't pay ridiculous amounts, the single payer government systems negotiate prices with all medical providers: pharma, medical appliance makers, clinics, hospitals, etc. Our medicare/medicaid system does not negotiate at all. It relies on the chicken shit insurance companies' negotiating prices regionally. These other nations avoid racketeering. https://interactives.commonwealthfund.org/2017/july/mirror-mirror/
