Medicare - medical insurance/services for retireesDenmark is the most egalitarian country in the world---and it's a social-democratic country that "gives people things"--such as free education
and health care. Same with Sweden and Norway. Successful countries, all. We are the only one of 37 OECD countries that does not have nationalized health care. Everyone else in the world has got it wrong and we've got it right? Please. There are many millions of Americans who have no health care insurance at all.
Don't tell people to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and then pay them a poverty-level wage that makes getting ahead impossible. Capitalism is a good thing; vulture capitalism is a bad thing. We've had a lot of vulture capitalism in the U.S. since the late 1980s.
Medicaid - medical insurance/services for the poor/indigent care
TriCare - medical insurance/services for retired career military members
Obamacare/ACA was supposed to solve the 10% of the population that didn’t have health insurance. What happened? You mean it didn’t work?? Many people on the ACA also pay no premiums at all, IOW…it’s subsidized by taxpayers yet again. To say we don’t have socialized healthcare is not accurate.
