Do libs not understand that a universal healthcare system would result in healthcare workers being paid drastically less. Lower pay would mean no one would want to be go through the harshness of med school. Nurses already complain about being underpaid

WRONG because greed of healthcare companies is at an all time high.

This isn’t true. Surgeons, anesthesiologists, pharmacists, and psychiatrists might see a small salary reduction. But only slight. The extreme majority of healthcare workers would not have their wages or compensation adjusted at all.

Or you have a national health insurance system that pays people’s medical expenses for them, which wouldn’t change what those expenses are, effect the profitability of still-private healthcare, or, ultimately, make it impossible to continue paying healthcare workers well. Or you could just create a nationalized health service and just pay the people working there as much as they’d make in the private sector

State funded healthcare = wage paid by citizens. Think public school system.

Canada is the only place doctors get paid reasonably and that’s because of its sparse population, less doctors, and higher average tax rate than the UK

You can't compare salaries like that, living standards and cost of living are variable from country to country. If you look at salaries before and after universal healthcare there is no consistent trend of lower healthcare worker pay.

US doctors are among the highest paid in the world. Many would be resistant to even a small pay cut

That's basically every industry in America. Again, differences in cost of living are a confounding variable so this is not a good comparison.

Insurance reimbursement is already abysmal to the point where it’s not uncommon when pharmacies don’t even get paid enough to cover the acquisition cost of a drug. Having government oversight would eliminate PBM involvement altogether, preventing their price gauging methods. Some countries even implement price caps on drugs. Pharmacies would stand to gain better profit margins by reduced cost and more fair reimbursement.

Wait until you figure out that prescriptions themselves would be less frequent due to preventative care.

Anonymous replying to -> #3 15w

You’re changing the topic. But yeah preventative care is the mainstay of staying healthy. Preventative medicine is also a thing and can require a prescription. It may delay when people need to start medicating, reduce the dose needed. But it’ll take you only so far as you age. Prescriptions volume is only going up as the aging population increases since people want to live as long as they can.

You were just blatantly incorrect about what you stated. Then when you were corrected about your misunderstanding of topic changes you chose instead to deflect onto them cursing. Be an adult if you’re going to engage in adult conversations. People curse, but the point they made stands.
