The US obvuisky does provide healthcare for its citizens, we are just in a messy argument over who should pay for it. Reagan mandated over 40 years that hospitals had to offer care to everyone.
- jmanderley 10y agoBeing able to visit the emergency room and having to pay whatever they want isn't remotely the same as "provide healthcare for its citizens".
- webnrrd2k 10y agoHospitals may provide emergency care, but it's a poor substiture for proper long-term care with a primary care physician. It's also a horrible system for dealing with homeless and mentally ill patients, not to mention the chance of going bankrupt, and the overall effectiveness/ cost of the system vs. the benefits. Saying it's only about who pays is not really doing justice to the problems of the American medical system.
