If you're willing to not get drunk or shoot up, aren't all of these available for free? Like, can't you hit up the homeless shelter = way less chance of dying of exposure, and get some food and water?
What do we have now? Emergency Rooms (aka the most expensive form of healthcare?) can't turn people away, or scan a wrist/ankle for their latest United Health Care benefits chip implant, or what have you, anyone else who uses hospitals, ever, basically has to pay for that service rendered to someone who doesn't pay. The only tangible benefit over the ACA in that regard appears to be the ability to never need a hospital and therefore sidestep hospital equivalent of the ACA insurance mandate.
Gold is a market commodity. Health Care is often a service, and a heavily subsidized one in terms of covering people who have care as the result of Public Sector Union negotiations or political pressure.
So the least productive members of society by dint of being old or not productive enough to have money get Medicare/Medicaid, everyone else gets to try to make it to the ER before they drop dead, at which point the care will be expensive, relatively speaking.
Ifallalot I think your market absolutism might have a rebuttal for all this, but that's even less popular than fckng Bernie - GOOD JOB!!
It seems like the things you don't want to be done in the US aren't hypotheticals. We're already doing them. The shittiest way possible in many instances.
