    True. My point is that when healthcare is socialised, the government will be the one having to budget the cost/benefit.

    Meaning a cure will always be the most profitable, meaning we will see this for all citizens fast.

        A healthy individual is more profitable, so as I said, a cure will be the best option - always.

        And yes, it’s profitable. No ones talking about maximising it and collecting more tax. But it’s a great example on how Americans think.
