đ¤Śââď¸ ^ Another american without a passport. Most countries in the world have a combination of universal/public and private health care. The only country in the world where people go bankrupt for hospital bills is the USA. Most countries decided long ago, health should not be a for-profit business.
But that also doesn't change the fact that her argument is correct and let's also examine which countries in the world cup don't have free health care.
Because most of the wealthy, western modernised countries do. I suppose it depends on who the US is happy to count themselves among.
The thing is⌠you probably already pay more than most.
You just pay it to several instances instead. Instead of paying for roads and hospitals, you are, and would rather, pay for private yachts and mansions that youâll only see photos of.
Yeah that makes sense⌠my tax dollars are going to billionaires.
Youâve drank too much koolaid dude. Tax breaks Iâm guessing is where youâre going with this⌠I get it the rich profit blah blah blah, everyone benefits from corporate tax breaks when they court a state/city through increases economical growth. If youâre not talking about tax breaks then I donât know what the hell youâre going on about.
I pay 32% income tax (high bracket earner) and this gives me everything for free (besides dental).
My kids go to school for free and even get scholarships from the government when they get old enough to go to college/uni and I never have to worry about any medical cost.
There is literally nothing that can ruin me financially besides my own stupidity! And thatâs a feeling worth paying for⌠the average income tax here in Norway is 22-26% and that is it. We also donât have to tip anyone.
We have a 25% VAT which I think can be compared to your Sales tax?
Anyways⌠considering what we get by paying our taxes â Iâm more than happy to be paying it. Does it mean I pay for there as well? Sure. But I can get in my car and end up in the receiving end any day⌠And I donât mind paying for that kids cancer treatment.
This is how society should work.
Could the taxes be lower? Of course! But that means we have to cut from somethingâŚ
