universal healthcare can be affordable

here is some information on how to provide affordable universal healthcare 

Universal Healthcare is simply not the same as mandatory health insurance coverage though naturally one might imagine that universal insurance of some sort is practically necessary to unpredictable elements.  The United States has universal healthcare, meaning that every citizen has some basic access to healthcare services.  Healthcare is not universally "affordable" in the United States from an individual standpoint.  What is happening in a general sense is that people are skipping important services because they haven't met deductible and going into enormous amounts of debt until they die or their credit is run out. This is being afforded, as someone is always picking up the tab, and we are paying through the nose for it at this time as a nation.  Some say we are also subsidizing countries where government officials are authorizing restrictions on the healthcare industry as a means of cutting costs on mismanaged liabilities.  I think the best a government can be expected to do is to subsidize critical supply side elements (to ensure the ready supply of doctors, facilities and quality labor) in a manner which is conducive to a market with an acceptable amount of risk with preference to relatively smaller start ups, particularly specialists, that can compete more conventionally as opposed to say, pooling assets taking what they can get and coming up with asinine administrative formulas/policies for survival. This is something that needs to be approached with vision over a length of time.  Perhaps some places to start a conversation up are ways to simplify how healthcare businesses negotiate with insurance, increasing/easing numerous insurance pools across low population and low income areas, ways to make services relatively consistent and predictable, and critically analyzing copious amounts of risks being accounted for from irregular payments and costs, including how complications are dealt with, legal costs, emergencies, certification/schooling etc...  There is also the aspect of "raising the bar" so to speak, meaning that we need not only to think about the quantity of people serviced, but thinking societally about raising our standard of services commonly available.  Currently we are dealing with the consequences of "Obamacare" which is well known to have been flawed and pushed through expediently with political reasoning, but beyond that I'm not sure how much depth the average American would have on the subject.

 I would suspect that the idea that food, shelter, healthcare, water, and other essentials could not be afforded within a given jurisdiction is most likely predicated to a topic of entrusting vast degrees of resources into the hands of a few, or situations where 40% or more of the population is living off seized expenditure on "welfare", without respect to relevant productivity.
