It makes sense to anyone that uses their brain for thinking instead of reacting emotionally. Who provides healthcare? Who creates new meds, tech and medical procedures? Why do they provide and advance healthcare? What happens when you severely limit what they gain from from providing it? Do you think as many would provide healthcare? Would they invest in the development of new meds, tech, medical treatments as heavily? |
You still don´t argue why it would be different in a universal healthcare system. Just because hospitals would be run by the state, doesn´t mean people stop researching. People who do research do it because that want to do research, not because insurance companies make money of off that research. You need to look at the matter from the perspective that the entire field would change. Here you can see the number of physician per capita in a number of countries, where you can see that the nordic countries quite easily outnumber the US: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SH.MED.PHYS.ZS?locations=DK-US-SE-NO-GB
You can also look at the number of specialists in each of those countries: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SH.MED.SAOP.P5?locations=DK-US-SE-NO-GB
