Gun control - Page 259 - Politics and Society -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

For bahbahs clarification , I am arguing that without govt involvement , the medical costs would be even higher than they are now. Healthcare used to be even more profitable and exploitative than it is today on a profit margin basis.

I’m not measuring it against inflation, but good to see the graphs for perspective

CPI is kinda a scam but it’s still good to see

Tell me how without government prices could be higher.

Without government there is no medicaid/medicare. Anyone can "be a physician". Patents don't exist. Private insurance isn't mandated to cover the latest innovation which costs 10x and is only slightly better.

I don't think it matters when it comes to gun control, anyway.

The Great Depression (1929-1939) sparked a high demand for a public health care system in Canada. In 1929, substantial amount (about 60%) of Canadians were not earning enough to afford adequate health care. Thus, many people did not use medical services. In the 1920s medical technology and diagnostic tools like X-Rays were being used more often, and health care became more difficult to afford. Prime Minister R.B. Bennett’s government did not increase spending for social welfare, but there was an extremely high demand for access to health care. Several sick people even sent letters directly to Bennett desperately pleading for help.

Dr. Kenneth MacKenzie spoke on the issue at the Medical Services Conference that year: “If there is an evil there must be a remedy, and that remedy, as I see it, must be some form of distribution of cost among the people at large.”
