RE: Who Should Pay for the CORVID 19 Test?
imagine clinging to "free market" conspiracy theories when a pandemic is killing thousands of people a day.
psychopathic, bizarre, and delusional.

The National Health System of Britain approached CORVID 19 with a grand socialist plan called "herd immunity."
The idea behind socialism is that the group matters more than the individual.
Socialists support the idea of herd immunity because they believe that allowing the deaths of tens of thousands of people would ultimately make the herd strong.
Imagine letting thousands of people to die to exercise some misguided socialist ideal is both bizarre and delusional.
BTW, you clearly misunderstood my post.
In a properly functioning market system, the costs get born by the entities that receive the most benefit from the cost.
The post states that individuals receive relatively little benefit from a CORVID 19 test; therefore, we should not look to making individuals the source for funding the tests.
The health care system itself is the primary beneficiary of the test. Since the system is the primary beneficiary of the test, it should be the primary source for the funds for testing.
Imagine a patient in a nursing home. A single CORVID19 test for this patient would be of little value.
In contrast the nursing home (which is selling health care as a product) would see a great benefit in setting up a system that tests and monitors CORVID19 (and other pathogens) in the facility.
A properly functioning market system wouldn't charge individuals for the tests because the individual is not the beneficiary of the test. We don't have a properly functioning market system in health care. We have a politically driven health care system that is run by people like Bernie Sanders of the world.
Regardless. The grand response of the socialist National Health Care system is to let people die needless so that the country builds up herd immunity. Socialists have a long history of letting people die by the millions because the underlying foundation of this system is a belief that the herd is more important than the group.
absolutely bizarre conspiracy theory you're cooking up here. Literally name one socialist who says this.
