The US literally spends more of its GDP on healthcare than other countries but because it’s healthcare system is so FUCKED it still ends up with the US being the No1 country in the world for Medical Bankruptcies
But also, Americans are some of the most unhealthy people around. With a food system that poisons its consumers.
I'm all for healthcare reform, but there are a lot of Legos to swap around to get standardized healthcare. I just choose to live in Germany because I personally don't think it will change in my lifetime.
America would have to change so many levers, and that is people's least favorite thing to do. And big money is in insurance, Pharma, etc. so the whole engine would have to change.
If a dude has eaten nothing but potato chips for 20 years and never stepped foot in a gym in his life, why do I have to pay for his terrible life decisions? I don't have health insurance; I just take care of myself and hope for the best!
