Christ dude I literally “cited” the campaign of Sanders that put out an idea as a platform and backed it with research and examples from the rest of the world.

The studies were not done by Bernie Sanders himself but even had they been I’d dare you to refute them intelligently.

You talk as if we ought to respect you but that also informs your opinion has no credibility.

If you would ignore your arrogance and lack of self awareness for a second, you could venture slightly outside the US for a comparison.

Case in point: Germany. We do have a mixture of semi-public and private insurances, and I would argue on average better health care access than the US right now. Insurance rates for the default public insurance is something like 8% of your income before taxes, plus the same amount paid by your employer. It's capped at about 420€ per month (so and 850€ including employer part). This insurance includes dependent children "for free", and if you're unemployed you'll get insurance paid for you.

So in short, 8% of your income, but never above 420€. Hardly any out of pocket payments. Comparable standard of care.

That means, it's absolutely possible, it's just that some people are dense enough to almost collapse into themselves and prefer to be screwed over.
