Why can't the US simply adopt Universal Health Care while still allowing Private Health Insurance to exist?
I mean it seems like the best of both worlds to me?
People who are for it argue that private health insurance is too expensive and leads many families into massive debt.
People who are against it claim it will drastically lower the quality of the health care and make wait times to see a doctor extremely long. It would also increase overall yearly taxes on most Americans.
But why can't we have both? If an individual or a family wants to pay for private health insurance to get that "better quality" and "shorter waiting times" why can't that be an option?
I'm in the lower class and my work's health insurance plan is very expensive, but I'm healthy and young with no pre-existing conditions, so I would gladly drop my current plan for a free government one with longer waiting times. It would save me roughly $400 a month which I could set aside for a down payment on a house.
If the answer to this is really obvious then I apologize, but I've been thinking about this all day at work.
