FWIW universal healthcare is not single payer. Its nationalizing healthcare providers and doing away with health insurance entirely. Which is better than any single payer plan IMO. Hospitals have never really been successful profit generating ventures.
The entire health insurance industry would be deleted along with all the jobs and stock value it produced. And yeah fuck’em but there’s going to be knock on economic effects from deleting an entire industry.
Health insurances go bankrupt… but the rest have more money, workers don’t need to be tied to a job to have healthcare and they can go to the doctor when they fell they need to, not when there is no other way.
Speaking as a Spanish citizen, I’ve gone to the doctor even for a drop of concrete in the ear (I was lucky and the ear was clean) or for a simple pain in my forearm. Cost: 0€.
