Universal healthcare would have kept 200,000 yanks alive if it had existed during 2020!

There is really no debating that universal healthcare MUST happen in the US. I’m not crazy about you yanks but I don’t want you Democratic voters dying because rubes are idiots.

According to that paper, published this month in PNAS, at least 212,000 fewer Americans would have died of Covid-19 in 2020 alone if the US had a single-payer health care system similar to the Medicare-for-all plan proposed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). The country would have also saved $105 billion in pandemic-related health care costs.




  • Nobody would have lost health insurance as a result of job loss from the pandemic’s shock to the economy. (The study estimates about 14.5 million Americans lost employer-based coverage in March and April of 2020, though some of those people would end up being covered by Medicaid.) Research has repeatedly shown being uninsured leads to patients delaying health care and worse health outcomes. More insured people would have meant more cases being diagnosed and getting treated sooner, reducing the likelihood of severe disease or death.
  • Vaccination rates would likely have been higher — and therefore there would have been fewer severe cases and deaths — if more Americans had a relationship with a primary care doctor, which one in four people in the US don’t.
  • And by reducing the number of Covid-19 hospitalizations through more vaccinations and earlier diagnoses, US hospitals would have come under less strain. That would have made it easier for them to manage all of their patients, rather than the situation last summer — after vaccines were widely available — when people showed up at hospitals with no room or staff to treat them. Some of those people died.

On a more serious note, government funded healthcare for emergencies should absolutely be a thing in the US. Getting injured should not bankrupt an individual. It seems like in the US, there are no real common benefits for the ones who fit the bill.

And Ruby, sex change, abortion, breast implants, hormone therapy, and all the other faggot shit, do not apply.
