Uninsured and underinsured together are why the costs are so high when you go to an Emergency room. That $100 aspirin is compensating for those who can't or don't pay.

Uninsured and underinsured together are why the costs are so high when you go to an Emergency room. That $100 aspirin is compensating for those who can't or don't pay. And I have it good authority, that the undocumented from the South pay at a much higher rate than the native born - even when it's from their own pockets. I know, this, because my father ran the ER in Boyle Heights for several decades.
People forced to stay in bad jobs, because they can't afford to risk the loss of insurance, while hunting for a better one, reduces net productivity for our society. Those without jobs rarely have insurance, and as Trump pointed out at one point while running in 2016 - that's a fake statistic, "unemployed" - you have to look at the total jobless numbers, because people fall off of the rolls, at a certain point.
I can't speak to all the possible flaws of systems that don't exist, or problems that exist in other systems. But I can tell you that our open system would work better than it does now, in every possible case, with the Pentagon Budget system, acting as a single payer for everyone. And the benefits to societal productivity would be great. Healthy people are more productive, for longer.
I stopped reading after the first sentence. You are not responding to the reality I shared with you. Despite being paid up in full, one is routinely denied the emergency room in Japan and can be in Canada and the UK. This is especially true for children, pregnant women. More so if one does not look Japanese. They have paid, yet are denied emergency treatment in a timely manner.
