This is a little poltical, but I've always wondered what would happen to our economy if we had single payer healthcare.
American workers are more productive then our socalized medicine counterparts in Europe.
There is a question of why? Is that partially because our healthcare is tied to our jobs so we put a much bigger focus on keeping said job so we can stay healthy?
On the other hand, maybe it's massively holding us back. You could have spent that 25k on a new car or something instead of a repaired knee.
I also know people who would quit their jobs and work at thier small businesses full time if not for healthcare concerns.
