People should acknowledge the system as flawed and not have market ideals stand in the way of fixing this flawed system.
Another note is that universal healthcare does not imply government-run healthcare. I live in a country which is an example of this - Israel.
> universal healthcare does not imply government-run healthcare
There is no practical way to implement one without the other in the US.
I suppose if you subscribe to, say, the normative-over-empirical approaches of the Austrian school of economics. If you are concerned with universality and cost-effectiveness, instead of the doctrines of the free market cult, reform toward the shape of systems which empirically do those things better than the US, which there are plenty of examples of in other advanced economies, would make sense.
> empirically do those things better than the US
Why are you bringing up the US? It's not market-based healthcare.
Both the source article and every comment in this thread except for one on the middle explicitly references the US; I didn’t bring it up, it was the established subject of the discussion.
