You're paying for a service. How much of your paycheck are they taking anyway? Mine is less than 5%. $70 a week. It's not a whole lot.
statistically Americans pay twice as much in insurance and taxes as Europeans pay in just taxes for healthcare
When I hear that I also think of Canada and their massively overwhelmed healthcare system. Just remember. If you're suffering because you can't get the care you need you can now just ask to die.
Are you saying that people should die instead of of being treated, when a treatment is possible, just because they cannot afford it?
I'm referencing Canadas MAID law that has become an absolute disaster causing or allowing the medical system to recommend suicide for those with solvable problems instead of solving those problems.
Canada's MAID law is not a disaster and that's speaking as a Canadian.

Shit like this.
Ten seconds on Google brought up the follow up to this story from March 10, 2023.
The department says in a final report today that it has concluded the issue was “isolated” to a single employee who raised assisted dying as an option with four veterans.
Do you think the mistakes of a single employee that the system's check and balances would have caught justifies discrediting the entire system?
No, he's just doubled down in his embarrassment and can't admit he's dumb
It did happen though and that was the fucking point.
One bad person in a system of millions is a bad person, not a failed system. Lol. There are bad people in every profession. Do we get rid of schools because some teachers molest kids? We certainly haven't gotten rid of cops after all that bullshit lol. You can't pick and choose, dude. Bad people are bad people and systems certainly need changing, but you are crying major fucking wolf here.
Dude’s just a troll who runs away when confronted with facts that don’t go along with their narrative.
Case in point, them not replying to me but answering you right away.
Because the same chucklefucks that keep pushing to provatise insurance even harder in the US are defunding Canadian health systems so 1. It can't be used as an argument against privatisation and 2. They can go 'look at how badly this works, we should provatise Canadian healthcare!'
They create the problem with Canadian healthcare, and then offer a solution that puts half the money in their own pocket.
It'd be a shaame if somebody fucked up the higher education system so nobody can afford to become doctors and fill that void...or if radical fascist talk shows were given all of the airwaves and told everyone that all doctors were crooks and killers
