If we paid taxes for this, and the government provided universal healthcare for all citizens (even for anybody who happens to be in the country when they need help, like in England and Canada), the only differences would be (A) that nobody was raking off thirty or fifty percent or more of our money for doing absolutely nothing of any value and making us submit to embarrassing and invasive interrogations, entrapment in jobs to keep coverage, spying on us, and charging ever-increasing fees for this abuse; (2) the cost would be the costs. But minus the astronomical, outrageous private profits the present system imposes. "Healthcare Costs" would shrink.
Yes: everything the same, except everybody is covered, rich, poor, unemployed, citizen, migrant worker - everybody. Nobody is allowed to make a fortune from others' misfortune. The taxes we would have to pay could not come close to the average person's monthly health insurance bills. And the economy would take off like a, well, a honeybee, freed of the enormous weight of the malignant parasite on her back.
"What? Get rid of the health insurance companies?" somebody may dare to ask aloud, in incredulous shock.
Figure it out. It's your money.
