It doesn't tell the story with larger populations, and you are just assuming that what works for a population of 5 million people will work for 350 million... The logic isn't sound and you know it.

The population of Europe is 740 million.
The population of Japan is 127 million.

Somehow, 740 million people in Europe are able to have Universal Healthcare. It's a patchwork of individual countries doing it, but all of them (essentially) have UHC.

Tell me why the USA and it's fewer than half as many citizens, can't manage?

Are you trying to pass of that the EU as a whole has Single Payer? You are not being honest in your assessment. Each of the counties might have some form of Universal Healthcare, but it isn't paid for by the whole of the EU, it is on a country by country basis. Don't tell lies to prove a point.

Maybe you think it'd be more feasible if the a law was passed stating that every state had to have some form of universal single-payer healthcare that way all these states of 5 million people or 40 million people could implement something that worked for the smaller populations.

That sounds like something you'd agree is at least possible (or at least more possible).

What lie?

I'm trying to figure out how your brain is working on this issue. The individual 28 countries in the EU could be likened to the 50 states in the USA.

If 28 individual countries could figure out how to give 740 million people universal healthcare....why couldn't 50 individual states do it?

Why do you think I wold agree with any sort of law or regulation passed down from the Federal govt that allows them to tell the states how to run their own health care systems? I'm against more federal govt control of all aspects of our way of life.

Please read more carefully.

It's not about you agreeing if the law is a good one or not.

Could 50 individual states implement 50 different universal health care programs that would benefit their individual states and have that be more effective than 1 policy for the entire United States?

That's not a question about your agreement with the law. Just the possible route of implementation of a law.

You don't want 50 states to figure it out, you want the feds to force a solution on the US population.

You're ducking the question.

I want Universal Healthcare for all of the citizens in the USA, you're correct. The best route of implementation I'm unclear on.

The law could simply be something along the lines of 'Each state shall implement a universal single-payer healthcare solution by 20XX.' Since this is all hypothetical.

You didn't ask an honest question as I stated in my answer. You asked why 50 states couldn't do it and I responded that you aren't concerned with 50 states, you are concerned with 1 Federal Govt getting it done. If it was left to the states, not all states would do it, and a mandate from the Federal govt for the states to have a single payer type plan isn't a choice at all. I support the idea of the states working it out on their own but only if the Federal govt respects the vote of the people. I don't think the left would ever respect the rights of the voting public if it didn't go their way. The left-wing in our country has a habit of overturning the will of the people when they vote for things.

I asked you a question, and instead of answering my question, you changed the subject, thereby ducking the question. It's a classic strawman technique.

You admit that each of the 50 states, could effectively implement a single payer universal healthcare system IF they were so inclined?

So, effectively, through the patchwork of whatever the states came up with, 330 million American's could be covered.

So you're saying there's a chance....

The argument that it can't work with large populations is a BS opportunistic argument. It cannot be proved either true nor false. So it is designed to stop the conversation, which is a win for the status quo.

No. they can't. Not fairly and effectively. We have rich states and poor states; rich communities and poor communities, red states and blue states. We already see significant differences in how different states function with Obamacare and Medicaid.

Leaving it to the individual states guarantees significant variations in delivery. Rich states and areas will have better care than poorer ones. It has to be a national system.

Baldimo, listen my friend, any discussions and persuasions with brainwashed dumb liberals or socialists like Senter or the other 'genius' , you can only compare to attempts of convincing lion to become an antelope. IT WON'T HAPPEN ! This is precisely, exactly like one of the top deffected KGB agent said, name Yury Bezmienof: you can rub the communism in their noses and they still will believe it is great. Once they are programmed that way, they are becoming like zombies. Russian KGB give them name 'useful idiots' which they are.

And Baldimo, when Regan claimed winning cold war, Russians said: not so fast, and if that criminal Hilary would won, this country would be lost and Russians would be right. Most of our universities are infested and hijacked by anti American element aiming to divide and demoralize this nation further. YES SENTER, YOUR DUMB ASS PHD PROFESSOR IS ONE OF THEM. But of course what can you expect from subversion. American universities are hiring criminals and terrorists and producing terroristic groups like ANTIFA and so on.
If you just think about it , it makes you hair stick up.

Sorry but I simply have no patience or any respect for stupid people who praise socialism or commuzm. I was born and raised in that system and there is NOTHING good about it. I came here as a political refuge and I've never look back.... just so I have to listen to demagogue from idiots like Bernie Sanders or he's blind followers fools?

@Senter,

Please, listen to this guy when he talks about ignorance. He seems to have lived on intimate terms with it for a long time. And when he confuses ignorance and stupidity, he does not appear to have given much thought to either. However, when he talks about IQ, you can probably ignore him. He seems to be paraphrasing an ignoramous about a subject he is completely ignorant on.

Our inequality is increasing, poverty is increasing

Just a note - the most significant contributing factor to the growing divide can be found at this web address.
https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/historical-tables/
Just download the excel sheet called " Table 2.1—Receipts by Source: 1934–2023 " and have the look at the growing revenue burden placed on citizens as compared to corporations.

Other things also contribute to growing divide - eg both couples in a relationship now working. This may sound odd, but historically, when a man married a woman, her station wasn't so important as he was the provider. When it became common for both genders to work, professionals started marrying professional (etc), and for them, this lead to free cash to invest, pushing up housing prices, which pushed up rent prices, which decreased free cash for the poor).

Those, and other forces, over generations, lead to the entrenched economic decay (both literally financial, and in the understanding of financials) of a growing percentage.

Socialism, although I have a lot of time for it (if handled correctly, which it often isn't), is fighting a losing battle against other forces.
