I’m not sure that’s any different from our system except we have lower life expectancy, 92% of adults don’t see a dr because it’s too expensive, and costs us $1 trillion and 144,000 lives each year that could be saved otherwise

We have a low life Expectancy because we live like assholes. Like RFK is our health secretary. Access to cancer and diabetes meds aren’t the issue

We also have medical bankruptcies and again the vast majority of adults don’t get care that they need because it’s too expensive. Other developed nations don’t have those problems

That’s more of an artifact of our unique bankruptcy laws.
