It is against the laws here to nationalize businesses for public benefit without paying fair compensation. To nationalize the healthcare industry might cost the government $30 or $40 TRILLION (or even more).
The alternative is a dual system where the government buys and builds medical complexes and competes with private business -- that will be challenged in the courts "BIGLY" but Congress could pass a law that might stand and pass constitutional muster -- laws that can be proven to be in the public interest have good standing.
The vested interests are preventing this. If Trump was really a ''Man of the People'' he would put this on the table and push for it instead of wasting time and money building stupid walls to appease simple minded people  |
There already is a dual system, so building up the Medicare, Medicaid side is possible. The key is in importing skilled staff who will work for less or be exporting the work outside the US. That's been the US policy for decades and has reduced the costs of nearly everything you buy. Buying the Private Sector will be a lot cheaper once they lose their monopoly.
Paying for it is easy. Offer Americans a Healthcare plan that cost 60% of what the Private Sector costs. Especially when they know it covers the poor.
Building the Wall is a positive for the people who are being denied jobs or pay raises because of illegal migrants. Also, it will help reduce crime.
