It only works in a high-trust society, and Catholic Social Teaching is geared towards making societal trust as high as possible through the twin principles of Solidarity and Subsidiarity.

That’s the most reliable way to achieve generalized reciprocity at scale, because it’s been specifically designed for that by the Church, and indirectly by God.

Yeah, but that doesn’t make what we do a better idea. Like would you rather a college cafeteria serve fancy food but only enough to feed a half the students - like I’m sure the people that get fed would be stoked but then half the students starve 🤷‍♂️

It gets even worse if you make it free. There’s a reason all the rich families still get private healthcare plans in countries where it’s free. They get to be at the front of the line and get the best care while everyone else who now “has access” to it waits until they die. Yeah you can live in the fairytale world where everyone has access to it now, but you’ll still be holding onto that ideal as you die in bed waiting for medical service you’ll never get. Enjoy that moral high ground 6ft under

Dawg i hate our current healthcare system too 😭 We have dogshit healthcare and pay the most by crazy numbers. We rank so bad in everything to do with healthcare among first world countries. At the very least if its gonna be ass it shouldn’t cost so much that people dont want to call an ambulance out of fear of debt.

I wanted to touch on this earlier but my comment was already too long and I was too lazy to go back

It’s actually ridiculous that insurance companies can even say no if they don’t find it reasonable. Sure “fraud” whatever, but jsut because you think I can breath without my inhaler? Genuinely he’ll won’t be warm enough for those demons

It’s complete and utter cope. If you ask them what they think about their own system, they’ll tell you exactly what I said in my other reply

The US is just the punching bag of the world so that people can pretend At least for a moment that the same problems don’t exist in their countries as well

I’d rather not have people need to pay more than the average person does to live, thanks. It’s unfair and preys on the lowest economic class which is most prone to illnesses and suffers the most from the costs.

Did you read a word I said in my other reply? You’d still have to pay to live, except it increases to be even more. Better yet, unless you pay that absurd, you’re now at the back of the line behind the people who do pay. It gives the lowest economic class even *less* access to life saving procedures because they’re fully priced out of it. At least in the system now, if they’re able to raise the money, they can pay for it one time and get it done. In universal healthcare, they’re left to die

Like I said at the end of my other one, I hope you’ll still be enjoying that moral high ground from 6ft under. Maybe you’re saying you want universal healthcare because you’re one of the ones who would be privileged enough to still afford private plans, so you can conveniently forget about everyone you’ve sentenced to death by telling yourself that they all at least have access to it now for “free”.
