I'm not living in the US of A, but when I see what people have to pay to get medical services I understand very well why they avoid them. When one treatment costs as much as a person earns in a year, there is something very wrong with the system.
And there's a country where you don't pay for medical services? Which one? Because I live in Europe and a lot is being taken from my salary to get the "free" service. So much, actually, that an American commercial health insurance would be cheaper.

Here we go again another troll with a straw man. All he argued is that in the US people pay too much for medical care he never said not that people should get healthcare for free. Most countries in the industrialised world make you pay for healthcare services, but most of those countries also manage to restrict that price to something fair and affordable. When you can cross the border from the US to Canada and get a batch of insulin that costs in excess of $300 in the US for $30 there is something very seri
Straw man? He said "when I see what people have to pay to get medical services I understand very well why they avoid them". So yes, he did suggest that paying for medical services is wrong.
You also have no idea what anything costs here. I can say this because nobody here knows. You don't find out for months. Could be tens of thousands, could be nothing.
I've been sheltering in place and I'm still getting letters to tell me how much I owe for shit from last year. Which is nuts because my filing date for my FSA claims is closed so that's extra money I've saved for healthcare and I wouldn't even be able to apply it to my bill.
But going to the doctor is expensive? (Score:3, Insightful)
