Ah ah, no. It's not "free" healthcare. Free is for dirty socialists unless it's followed closely by 'dom.

We should encourage capitalist market growth by subsidizing the Healthcare industry to hook Americans on more frequent health visits to increase their taxable lifespan.

Basically, the whole Healthcare system is currently a la carte. Americans are only paying when they need something. Streaming services have proven the way of the future is with subscription services. Other countries have been doing it for decades. Everyone pays an annual fee and gets access to a vast catalog of medical treatment.

It's fucking nefarious and if Republicans ever find out about it, the for-profit Socialist industry of paying into a company to pay for other people's medical needs would be absolutely doomed. We, as the left, need to be very loud and vocal about how much we do not want healthcare to be a tax-driven subscription model or we'll totally lose our community communist insurance collectives.
