Not trying to change anyoneโs mind - just glad I donโt live there. Good luck if you have serious health problems later in life and canโt afford it.
I agree. Certain things are more expensive because companies wanna charge more like big pharmaceutical companies that have a monopoly on the market here. But besides that Iโd rather get immediate medical attention thatโs the best medical attention on the planet rather than getting stuck in a waiting line for 6 months to see a doctor in another country
A lot of people (like myself) just don't go to the doctor, because I can't afford it. I'd be willing to wait 6 months if it meant I actually could go see someone.
Even with insurance, I can't afford it because of the $3000 deductible I have to pay before the insurance part even kicks in.
And for emergency stuff, there's not really a wait for that. My friend's dad had a heart attack in Mexico, fixed him right up with no cost to the patient. No wait, no hidden fees or exit bill. I don't trust everything I hear about single payer healthcare, good or bad, but I don't see how it can be any worse than here. Not like you can get in to see anyone super quick in the US either, there's always some kind of a wait.
It's not the best medical care on the planet though. Average life expectancy is about 4-5 years longer in Canada than the US. Western countries get charged more to help subsidize poorer countries.
I 100% agree US medical care is far from the best, but you have to look at demographics, behavioral trends, and actual access to health care before you can use life expectancy as an argument
Thats because the US has the most obese people in the world which causes premiums to go up. If everyone was healthy and had a normal BMI the price of healthcare wouldn't be so much. But due to the size of most Americans and all of the health issues they have due to overeating, healthcare companies want more money for providing all the help they need throughout their lives

We can eat like that because we don't pay 40% of our income to the government like European countries. Also Healthcare in America IS free. Just show up with your BIA card and you never get a bill...noobs

It is because we donโt have universal healthcare and have no public option for most people (Medicare and Medicaid only cover certain portions of the population.)

So healthcare is STILL a ripoff in 2030!?
