Message | You realise it is cheaper for the government to provide healthcare for all people? All citizens having private healthcare in fact costs more per person - everyone is worse off. And what about the poor? They can't afford to spend up big on healthcare, even if it is subsidised. Their children are not going to be treated as well as they could be. |
