| Megiddo said: Not sure why Singapore keeps getting brought up, but it's an example of extremely efficient government regulated healthcare. The government controls all pricing and subsidizes 80-90% of all medical costs for everyone. It is government controlled universal healthcare, which is something that think you're supposed to be arguing against fatslob, so Singapore is just yet another example of how much better the US healthcare system could be with government controlled cost measures instead of allowing corporations to grossly profit off of sick and dying people. |
Not true, the state only funds one fourth of the medical costs per capita. The rest is paid for by the citizens themselves but do try explaining yourself why somehow countries with "universal healthcare" has yet to catch up in value with the likes of Singapore which is mainly privately funded ...
Of course, I don't deny that Singapore does regulate the health market such as most of their citizens prescription plans don't involve covering very expensive specialty drugs which cuts costs appreciably that you would see everywhere in America so there's one point to get you started ... (monoclonal antibodies or biologics isn't cheap to mass produce)
Try harder next time though ...
