Raise your hand if you’ve been personally victimized by the American healthcare system 🙋🏻♀️
About 95% of Americans should raise their hands then 🤣
Here in the civilised world we get our healthcare for free

I'm currently an ongoing victim. Every time I switch medical providers I'm denied healthcare for a simple issue which is an ear infection. They are corrupt as hell.
I was literally just crying over that a few minutes ago

Yet the US is responsible for the most advancements in medicine and pharmaceuticals globally. Maybe its because all that money we spend on Healthcare acrually goes to something. Im not saying the insurance industry is good. Its not and should be completely rebuilt from the ground up. But free Healthcare is ass. Its why people from other countries with free Healthcare save up and come to the US for live savings treatment. Because they'll die from a backed up pipeline in other countreis.
Medical innovation and healthcare affordability are not the same issue. The U.S. can have amazing doctors, hospitals, and researchers while still having a broken insurance system. People traveling here for specialized care doesn’t help the Americans delaying basic care because they can’t afford the bill.
That's like saying you're happy to pay significantly more for car insurance because it funds Fords R&D 🙄
Not in the slightest. I plainly said our insurance system needs to be completely overhauled. Now, if I paid more for insurance because it created technology that made crashes less likely to happen, and fatalities less likely, I would glaldy pay it. Free car insurance would barely cover shit. I pay for what I legally need to have, full coverage, gap insurance, and roadside because I know the benefit of having those things. I know the benefit of having health insurance, and the nightmare of dealing with free healthcare thanks to the VA.
And yet no one does anything about it. Funny how that works.
Not much individuals can do
Individually no, but together as a whole yes.
I’ve only been helped. We have the best healthcare ever
We have the most expensive healthcare in the world with some of the worst health outcomes.
Wrong
Then explain how I’m wrong. We have worse life expectancy, higher infant mortality, higher maternal mortality, and higher rates of chronic illness than most peer nations.
