SENATE BILL: Reforming Atlasian Public Health Act of 2014 (Debating)

[bore]

I'd like to echo what Nix said- healthcare is one of those subjects where it's difficult to know what our current policies actually are.

In general though, and this should not surprise anyone given I'm British, (No one serious in Britain opposes a free at the point of use system) I favour a free healthcare system paid for out of general taxation. It seems to me to be much simpler and more efficient for the government to control hospitals because that leads to much cheaper deals and no money is wasted on dividends. Having said that, even if the British system was more expensive and wasteful I would prefer it, because for me healthcare is a moral issue. I don't think anyone should have to suffer poor care simply because they can not afford it, and that's a danger if people have to think about if they can afford a visit to the doctors.

Guys! Single-payer is compatible with Private Providers!

Hell, even an NHS system (which would be my preference) is.

Aye
