I thought of this during the last Presidential Election. To create jobs, the USA should offer some kind of non-job-related health insurance. That would free people from having to keep a corporate drone job just because those are the only jobs that have good health insurance these days. Small businesses wouldn't have to worry about health care issues when hiring. I'm sure a number of other follow-effects, not all good, would follow.

Remind me again why the USA doesn't have some kind of nationalized health care? Is this so that MDs can mint money or something?

It's probably because we think "socialized" anything is a dirty word. And because we are a young country with a lot of stupid ideas.

It's complicated, I am sure.
