Yes, but I prefer switching to a single payer healthcare system

It wouldn't increase taxes much on normal citizens, just on really rich people. Free healthcare is a moderate policy in many other countries. People are happier in those countries.

Every other developed country uses some firm t if single payer and has better health outcomes across the board. This wouldn't solve the social issues of employer-mandated sick hours and wage loss, but would help us all to live longer, healthier lives.

By removing the private healthcare apparatuses from the picture, people would not pay for private insurance, as it would be included in their taxes. This would also give the government more leverage in negotiations with drug companies and hospitals on pricing.

Healthcare is a necessity not a commodity and it should not be a privatized market of middlemen who take government subsidies and charge the general public for services additionally. Supporting and expanding Medicaid is closer towards the goal of getting away from the model of healthcare, but it doesn't support those who are not eligible, which is why changing systems would be better.

It would require changing the entire system of taxing within America, as the strategies of Reagan have completely warped the way people view taxes and what they truly are supposed to do. By taxing the rich more instead of relying on trickle down economics, while letting go on the middle / lower class, we could afford a quality single payer healthcare system for everyone which could make our country even greater for all of its citizens, from the homeless to the rich.

Most other western countries provide this or a similar system, and the quality matches that of the US.

A single payer healthcare system would provide healthcare to every American. This could prevent millions of people from dying preventable deaths. Furthermore, your taxes don't pay for someone else's coverage unless you are very rich. The only difference is whether or not you choose to use it. I would also support an opt out option for a single payer healthcare system.

i dont really know or am not knowledgeable to interpret an opinion on this. but if someone prefers something over something else then they can go for it.
