insurance for-profit healthcare. And even then it will be an uphill slog. You may have noticed that Republicans have not even had the CBO score their current bill. That's because they don't want anyone to know. They keep "promising" that CBO scoring will come before the vote, but they are liars.
Then there's the problem of citizens not doing their own reading and research from trusted sources about how universal healthcare might actually work. It's simply in the actuarial numbers that when the cost of healthcare is spread across the entire US population, the cost per person is less.
Insurance companies would be out of the healthcare business. But they can sell other forms of insurance, like home and car.
Then there's the problem of access. We would need to have more medical schools turning out Drs, nurses, and healthcare professionals. And that means building more schools, but also lowering tuition costs. Plus fund building more clinics and hospitals.
The obvious place to get the required funding is to cut the defense budget. The amount of GNP that we spend on defense is obscene. So you can see that this is very very difficult to accomplish. So first, we need to start winning elections.
