But that’s just the theory. In theory they raise taxes sufficiently to pay people enough that they will jump up and fix patients, but in reality there are things like not enough doctors to fix the people, not enough doctors willing to accept that trade, etc.
There is no universal healthcare. Even if governments force doctors to operate at gunpoint, which to be clear I’m highlighting as the problematic thing, there will be a limited supply of doctors. It cannot be universal.
It’s always going to be a negotiation, and the issue is how constraining that negotiation is on doctors, how much pressure we put on them to work for others when they don’t want to.
In theory everything is wonderful and everybody gets fixed. Reality is much more harsh because it requires people to work to fix people.
