They're funded by Federal, State, and Local government as well as philanthropic donations.

Primary and specialty care access must be increased; although Harris Health provides 25% of the primary care for indigent individuals, another 27% do not receive care. The gap must be closed and not allowed to continue to increase.

So basically a centralized healthcare solution which turns away more poor or uninsured than they help. A commendable service, but not even close to the effectiveness and mercy of universal healthcare.

As I said, the system is not perfect and it needs to be improved. And it is better than Canada telling people to choose euthanasia because the government doesn't want to pay for their care, or when the UK denied care to a little girl, and then refused to let her leave the country to get healthcare elsewhere. They don't provide universal healthcare either, despite their claims.

It's centralized government operated healthcare, you're just advocating for more centralized healthcare.

The United States is huge. You could fit all of Europe inside the U.S. Yet they don't have ONE Europe-wide healthcare system. Each country has their own. At the very least, each state should have its own health care system, although a local network would be better. And we should not abolish charity and religious organizations from running hospitals. They should be part of the health care ecosystem as well. That way people have a choice in care since there are multiple providers.
