Someone has to pay for it. Also the "free" healthcare isn't what it's hyped to be. Have fun waiting for near eternity or being denied a hip replacement.
Classic right-wing propaganda, you have been tagged.
It's actually terrible here in America as far as wait times go compared to EU countries
loool is the right winger in the room with us now?
Classic cop-out. Not a right winger and not living in America.
I have actually experienced the "free" healthcare, unlike your pipedream. And if the American government works so beautifully as it does then I know if they ever tried it the system would be the most glorious disaster ever seen.
Take it from me, you're better off leaving the US of A then ever seeing a good-working system.
You have no fucking clue what you're talking about. Any developed nation has a better healthcare system than the US. We pay the most for the worst outcomes.
Even the UKs NHS is better than the shit we have now.
This is the country where just needing an ambulance is $5000 by itself.
This is the country where peoples last hope to live is an experimental drug that their insurance denied because mehhh profitssss.
This is the country where married folks have had to divorce because one of them became terminally I'll just so their bills wouldn't drain the life insurance
This is the country where the insurance companies celebrate claim denials
This is the country where people are regularly sadled with 10k, 50k, 100k+ bills because their insurance denied their claims despite paying thousands into it
So fucking what if you're even right and you have to wait 6+ months for a hip replacement. Any body who actually needs one would gladly wait and pay very little for it than in the US where you'll still wait 6+ months for it AND have to pay 25k for the pleasure.
If you aren't truly right wing, you're definitely starting to drink the Kool-aid.
