Every single other developed country does not have a single-payer system, some do and some don't. That is a popular talking point, but its just not true. The systems vary from country to country. For example Switzerland, Canada, and France all have different systems. In countries that have single-payer systems a lot of people have supplemental insurance. Have you ever asked yourself why they need supplemental insurance? Don't do the leftist "You're anti (whatever), have a conversation with me here.
Obviously there are differences, the point being that you don't need to be rich and wealthy to be allowed to live. America is committing a genocide of poor people, and part one of that genocide is lack of medical attention for preventable illness.
You can have supplemental insurance if you want, if you want a more personal doctor, specialist, etc, with less wait times then by all means, go for it, but that does't mean poor people have to die. There are tiers of everything. I can go to McDonald's and grab a $1 hamburger to live for the day, or I can go to Five Guys and get a $12 burger because it tastes better.
If you have cancer and the wait time to see a specialist is 6 months that isn't really a preference thing though. That situation will hurt the poor who aren't able to purchase that supplemental plan. That type of stuff happens in single-payer countries.
Nope. The wait lists are based on who needs what first. The CURRENT operation is a list based on wealth. Universal Healthcare would be based on who needs it the most. Try again.
Which system are you referring to? Every country's system is unique. You can't make that large of a generalization.
