Even within free market logic free healthcare just makes sense. It enables people to more comfortably quit their job to start a business or take any better job. It also allows people more freedom to choose medical professionals based on their merits rather than on who their insurer says they can use.
The stupid thing is that even this isn’t necessarily the case. Even in countries that have public healthcare, there are still private options for those who want “fancier” care. The true statement is that they would only be able to rip off the wealthy, instead of everyone in the country.

It’s also cheaper for everyone, and results in much better outcomes on average. It’s truly win/win/win.
The only losers would be the insurance companies that would no longer exist. And fuck them.

It doesn’t make sense because it doesn’t maximize the short term profits of a health care business.
No American capitalist wants this.
You can be hired. You can be fired. You can’t go around quitting without your boss’s permission.
That’s long term thinking you fool. How does that help my next quarter!? Think of my bonus!
