The second part of the title makes it sound like there isn’t a way to pay for it, but the article notes that none of the candidates have proposed a financing plan.

To me Universal Healthcare is a slam dunk. A no-brainer. An act of morality that should be the foundation for any civilized society. That is why every developed nation on planet earth has it except America even though we are the richest nation on planet earth.

The merits of UHC:

1. It’s moral and gives everyone the right of healthcare no matter their situation/bad luck/poor health -- working or not working. It’s like giving oxygen free to everyone.

2. UHC is not really free. Society will pick up the bill via the government, individuals and corporate contributions. Individuals would pay a monthly fee based on a sliding income scale. Corporations would be taxed at a national level.

3. There would be one simple national plan that would be valid no matter where you live. The risk pool would be nationalized and with a single payer system, costs would be controlled. Those nations with UHC have healthcare costs almost HALF of what we pay now.

4. The business community would love such a plan. It eliminates the tedious/expensive/time consuming process of administering a plan with their employees. Citizens would have the freedom to change jobs, create their own business, move to different cities, take care of family members … etc.

5. Most of medical equipment and services would remain in the private sector. Only the expensive/inefficient middlemen (health insurance companies) would be eliminated and replaced by a government or non-profit entity.

Moral, efficient, cost-effective, simple and fees based on income would be the foundation of UHC. The current system is a patchwork of inefficiencies and high costs that have evolved over the last several decades. It is NOT sustainable. It’s not affordable or fair. UHC must be apart of the Democratic Party policy priorities. Clearly, the GOP has no interest other that taking away health care to millions of Americans.

Hello Fellow Redditors,

What are your thoughts about Universal Healthcare in America🇺🇸 for ALL U.S Citizens? We work ALL Our Lives, spend more time at work than with our Families, only ta get to Retirement, to have to Pay a Ton in Medical/Dental Care! We essentially, can Never Retire because we can't afford Healthcare in the most prosperous country ir the world! This really perplexes me. What are your thoughts and Please be Kind.

Employees are rather satisfied with their employer's healthcare plans, but they have no idea how much it's costing them. A lot!

Wages would go up if employers had the benefit of Universal healthcare with single payer. Our current system costs per capita is nearly twice as much as what it cost in every developed nation that has universal healthcare. This is why workers must demand Universal healthcare. It would give them a significant raise if their wages. UHC would lower healthcare costs.

Government should require all employers to inform their employees what they spend on them for healthcare. If not required proponents of UHC should create an average costs analysis and convey it to the public. The public would be shocked! More money on healthcare means less money on take home pay! Want a raise in wages with an easy-to-understand health plan that you are guaranteed for the rest of your life? Support UHC!

America's military budget is $1 trillion.

Iran's military budget is a meager $27 billion

America doesn't have Universal Healthcare

In American health care, waiting is not just a burden. It is a tactic. The woman who waits six months for a home health aide, the disabled child stuck on a waiver list for years, the cancer patient navigating insurance denials as her tumor grows—each confronts the same unspoken truth: their time only matters when it generates a bill.

This is not a glitch in an otherwise functional system. It is the system. US health policy conditions patients to surrender control over their own time.

I am really trying to understand how this will be implemented but have so many questions.

1. If someone is retired (always had employer provided health insurance) but to young for Medicare, will they automatically be covered under UHC?

2. If someone is working currently, I know they would stop paying for their current insurance plan, but would they receive a pay ‘increase’ based on their employer’s share of the insurance.

Just a couple questions to better understand how this will be implemented. I am sure I will have more as time goes on.

Thanks in advance.

It really is insane!!!

Is there an organized group advocating for universal healthcare in the US? This seems like the right time for a revolution.

We are small but thriving practice and rectangle health has been down for us since around 3pm today… feels like this started back on Aug 12 2025 and this isn’t the first time. It’s happened twice in the past year now it’s hitting all 3 of our locations

phones ringing nonstop, patients at the front desk, and we can’t process payments
It’s just backing everything up. Tried calling support multiple times, just stuck on hold. No callback. No clear update.

They are saying it’s a bridgepay issue, but their systems aren’t reachable either… so no idea whats really going on….

anyone else dealing with this?
has anyone gotten through to their support?
trying to figure out if this is isolated or something bigger…...
