I’m all for removing all current welfare payouts and simply handing people equivalent cash instead
If you do that, you’re gonna make people even poorer than they are, making everything more expensive for everybody. Have you ever wondered why health is hell of a lot cheaper in Europe than in places like the USA? It’s precisely because we have welfare payouts to let the government take care of the price and regulate abuse by pressurizing the different industries, while in the USA, you have basically nothing, so it’s the customer vs the entire industry and guess who wins? Not the people. So you have to pay your meds or consultations 10 times the price you would in Europe.
Money you give to the state through welfare is money you give to yourself…

Health care shouldn’t be a welfare payout, which may be where our disagreement lies.
