It's not free, it's socialized. This means expenses are passed to the tax payers. But like you said, if it lowers costs long term, it's worth the short term cost increase.
True. My point is that when healthcare is socialised, the government will be the one having to budget the cost/benefit.
Meaning a cure will always be the most profitable, meaning we will see this for all citizens fast.
Not the most profitable... The least expensive, long term. The most profitable would be the cheapest option but the most possible tax is collected. The whole point is to reduce burden on the tax payers, not maximize tax revenue.
A healthy individual is more profitable, so as I said, a cure will be the best option - always.
And yes, it's profitable. No ones talking about maximising it and collecting more tax. But it's a great example on how Americans think.
So you are arguing the govt should run a profitable business?
Are you struggling with reading comprehension or just being purposely obtuse?
