"Would you rather pay for taxes or healthcare?" Sounds like a no brainer to me 🤷‍♂️

33% are retarded.

I thought it was free

LOL.

My taxes went down when I moved from the US to New Zealand and I got the free healthcare and education. Pretty good deal. All you have to do is stop supporting massive military and health insurance industry. You can get both low taxes and health care plus education.

I can see that, by taking a piece from your capital and giving it to everybody else, you can say that everybody has access to free health care and education, even if you can't afford it. It's free because somebody else paid for you (and the state took it's share). In a democracy with "healthy" (surviving) and "educated" (indoctrinated) people, the state raises more treasure through taxes since people produce more. But this way you are removing the "natural selection", the survival instincts, the ingenuity and the community-help from people. People become more and more weak, poor, lonely and dependant from the state. But people are powerful when given the chance. This top down approach is creating a fragile society for the advantage of the state. Bad things need to be let go, even if it is painful. Otherwise prepare for a big crisis.

But the stupid/inefficient thing is to tax *everybody* and then give free healthcare to *everybody*. All incentives to spend money wisely is lost. Only tax the richer folks to support the poorer ones, but no needless circulation of money via tax and handouts to the same ppl.

How do you know who needs health care in the future and how much will it cost?

Outsource the military to the US in an alliance you mean.

Also to be clear the NZ system spends less per capita from the government budget on health care than is spent in the US. We have a much more effective system without the excessive paperwork of the American system. And yes there’s private hospitals and health insurance here and even pharmaceutical advertising. It’s really not very different from America, it just works a lot better. Lower taxes, better security, more benefits.

But New Zealand does have a balance between public and private healthcare.
