Normies will never accept any increase in money they have to dish out. I didnt read that whole thing but that person probably doesnt even use a credit card and wants everyone else to pay.

How does increasing money increase costs?

>$2 per person

Kek I guess you are right. Though you can exclude a lot of the first world who already have their own health insurance and money so you could probably make them in eligible. But that's still only gonna add an extra dollar for every third worlder out there.

Because when governments spend more, industries can take advantage. Look at how insurance increases the price of medicine.

>> No.11794334

Doesnt work on so many levels. So buying a $2 coffee has the same flat 5 cent charge as buying a $1000 television? So many ways to circumvent this, if anything it'd just increase the use of store credit and giftcards to circumvent the 5cent charge.

Eh it's a general economic law but this isn't that much money so it won't even be a splash.
The average income on the globe is about $10,000 a year, so you can't even take out the top half of the world population because someone making even $15,000 will be hard put to pay for surgery. It's a retarded idea, Reddit has no sense of scale

>lets just increase tax
what these retards dont understand is that its not about how much tax gets paid. the problem lies in who distributes the taxes (i.e. the government).

also, "more tax" and giving away shit for free doesnt really add any value. it just devalues the currency in question. this is literally economics 101.

Ok it's a retarded idea, but your analogy doesn't even make sense.
Like in the context of the post, now everyone is drowning in healthcare? Degree's can get devalued, health is a pretty objective measure. Either you're healthy or you're not. A communications degree or even a PHD in Math can't guarantee you jack shit, which is the core problem when everyone has a degree
