1. La salud como un derecho humano fundamental frente al lucro corporativo.
Existe un consenso generalizado en que el acceso a la atención médica no debe ser un privilegio basado en la riqueza, sino un derecho básico garantizado por el Estado.
- Healthcare is a basic human right for everyone. Medicareforall.
- Our health should not be a for profit business that a select few make millions from by increasing costs while reducing care. Its ghoulish.
- The goal of health care has to be health, not profit.
2. El papel de las aseguradoras como intermediarios innecesarios y costosos.
Los ciudadanos perciben a las compañías de seguros como parásitos económicos que encarecen el sistema y priorizan sus beneficios mediante la denegación de servicios médicos.
- Health insurance companies should not exist. Our healthcare system is broken and has become a for profit system.
- Every cent of their profit is healthcare denied.
- Health insurance is an unnecessary layer between doctor and patient that extracts taxpayer money and produces worse outcomes.
3. Consecuencias económicas: Deuda médica, bancarrota y dependencia laboral.
El sistema actual genera una precariedad extrema, vinculando la salud al empleo y llevando a familias trabajadoras a la ruina financiera por gastos médicos básicos.
- Richest nation on earth should not have healthcare that bankrupts people. Its pure greed.
- Health insurance ties us to our jobs prevents us from starting or joining businesses bc we cant forego health insurance. Universal healthcare is liberating.
- The majority of bankruptcies, with people losing everything, including their home, is due to medical debt.
4. Comparativa internacional: Estados Unidos como una anomalía global.
Se destaca con frustración que otras naciones desarrolladas han implementado con éxito modelos de salud universal que son más eficientes y económicos que el modelo estadounidense.
- Most countries in the developed world have a baseline of universal healthcare, and private healthcare options too. America really is an oddity.
- The us is the only industrialized country without some form of universal health care. I hate watching year after year how much we spend on the military, but we dont have the basics for health care.
- Other countries consider health care a basic human right, not a privilege for those who can pay for it.
5. Crítica a la influencia política y la falta de voluntad legislativa.
Muchos usuarios señalan que la persistencia del sistema actual se debe a la captura del Congreso por parte de los grupos de presión de la industria farmacéutica y de seguros.
- Universal health care and could be easily done if it werent for the insurance companies buying our congress people.
- The medical industry makes and bribes the government to keep it that way.
- If politicians only had access to the same health coverage that our most vulnerable citizens are offered, wed have universal health care.
