It will, but it will be other pockets that will be filled.

Their system is in a big decline, and people are getting less healthy every day.

I can't judge as I haven't read any stories like this, the only thing I know that ANY TIME there is something happening in healthcare in UHC countries - it's always the top news, why?
Because it's NOT widely accepted to not to treat people who would be too expensive to cure or not to insure those at all..

This is again a total misunderstanding to the UHC model - someone really painted a MASSIVE DEVIL on the wall.
There are NO dollars to be "assigned" to your life, you get what you have to get according to the diagnose, there is NO question about how much that costs.
It's NOT private companies deciding if they want to pay to keep you in shape or not, according to the diagnose and your premium world's most expensive program (if you are lucky to get any insurance at all).
