I mean honestly, there's so much you could do in this space. I would support using tax dollars for something like this, especially since you'd see the best results and the biggest societal gains from the groups of people who could least afford it.

People don't realize how much potential GDP is lost through sickness. It's massive.

Ignoring the authoritarianism and genocide for a moment, I do feel like this is the main difference between China and the USA. China seems to be about efficiency and stability, so huge investments in infrastructure, housing, health, etc whereas the USA seems to be all about individuals making as much as they can, despite the societal consequences, and no where is this more obvious than in the healthcare industry. I don't have exact numbers, but I assume 90% of Americans are one health-crisis away from bankruptcy. One of my friends in Florida told me yesterday that going to the hospital is not an option for anyone in her family.
