the math has already been done. we pay more for less care in the united states than places with universal health care.
health insurance companies only profit by denying claims. profit only comes when humans suffer.
Congratulations, you just figured out how healthcare works in the rest of developed countries
And also in some of the non developed countries (Cuba, Brazil)
“Cuba is such a shit hole.”
Consistently has some of the best doctors. Also, healthcare workers from Kenya? Some of the best in the world.
Yup. Everything is better when everyone is doing better. It’s weirdly simple.
And preventive medicine makes us live healthier for longer, making sure we can keep sustaining the system and reduce the amount of more complex and expensive care needed.
That would be logical and we don’t do that here.
Stop that.We have health care in Canada yet still lots of street homeless people. They aren’t getting adequate care at all, yet the cost of caring for them exceeds the average person by many times. Many of them are on a first name basis with all the paramedics and other first responders due to how often they’re taken to the emergency room.
Same in the UK :/ although I’d never want an American style healthcare system
You guys are getting close to it though. With your “Two Tier” system, You’ve slowly almost choked the public side of health care to death.
Unfortunately the Conservative groups in this country want us to have a fully privatised system. They’re already working to rid the country of mentally ill people, disabled people or anyone who could be a “drain”. There’s so much rhetoric at the moment about mentally ill people or those with ADHD and Autism receiving benefits I’m actually scared, they’ve made sure that the waitlist for therapy is a year long. I was forced to go private for my therapy or wait “up to 36 months”. I was suicidal and my mum couldn’t risk us waiting, so she sold half of our land to a builder to pay for it :/
