It’s just because we largely subsidize the rest of the world. It’s a complex analysis to do and I am very skeptical of things that just rank countries the size of Delaware and say how it’s clearly the winner.
The single-payer debate is something of a false choice, why can’t we have both single-payer and private insurance? I believe countries like Canada and UK have these systems.
Wait what? If you have single payer it’s usually just the government paying for everything. They may contract the work to private people, or hire out their own doctors etc.
the UK yes, Canada no. The Canadians didn’t want a “two tier system.” So wealthy Canadians come to the US for treatment
And Americans go to Canada for affordable treatment.
Remember when Rand Paul went to Canada for his surgery?
I’d like to see candidates give a 90-second opening statement in the next debate. Otherwise they’ll continue to dodge questions in order to get in their sound bites.
Should also get rid of the studio audience, so time isn’t wasted with idiots hooting and clapping like they’re at Jerry Springer show.
Should also get rid of anyone who isn’t Biden/Warren/Sanders/Harris/Mayor Pete
No sane person enjoys seeing homeless or sick people in society neither does one think that being born in some third world country without any resources is cool or people don’t deserve better.BUT this doesn’t mean taking the standpoint these lefties are taking.
yep. my thoughts and prayer go out to those who suffer. i definteily want them to have a better life. but thats just it, the buck stops at thoughts and prayers, i dont want any expense! best of luck!
there used to be an old joke that Winston Churchill said he asked 3 economists a question and got 4 different opinions (because Keynes always had two). It’s certainly not true that “ALL economists agree…”. Austrian school for one.
Rand Paul is discussed here
Sen. Rand Paul says the free market pushed him to Canada for surgery
Senator Paul needed hernia surgery after he was attacked by a crazed liberal. As a senator, he’s probably got very good insurance.
The private hospital he went to is grandfathered in having been in existence before Canada’s socialized medicine came into existence, but can only take cash from foreigners. Canadians have to wait in line and be paid for by the government.
The illegality of private health care in Canada
Private healthcare is illegal in 6 of the 10 provinces, including Ontario
I know of at least one hospital in Ontario that was making extra money by letting veterinarians use their MRI machine at night (this was 20 years ago, so no idea if they’re still doing it), because they could charge dogs to use it but not people. So a dog could get an MRI right away but people had to wait in line.
bumping this. it looks like biden is looking pretty good. especially when he said malarky. but fuck him for shitting on california. we are excellent at everything.
finally some democrats talking about cost as an important issue.
Yang looking strong, #YangGang
POTUS = Bernie
VP = Yang Gang
Secretary of State = Gabbard
Press Secretary = Trump
Y’all are shitting on yourselves though (literally).
Don’t like the others at all but Trump would make an incredible press secretary.
as the richest state. And leader of all states. It is our very right!
Andrew Yang hit this one on the head, let’s stop talking about low NPV immigrants, or distressed situations and think about all those immigrants like his father who got 60+ patents.
