Yes, but you're paying less taxes. So it's not as broken as people try to present.

- ceejayoz 9y agoAs far as healthcare is concerned, we pay about the same amount of taxes as Europeans, plus more to private insurers/hospitals, for a total healthcare spending significantly larger than theirs. We also have worse outcomes for all that extra spending - stuff like life expectancy, child mortality, etc. I call that a broken system. Your continued attempts to conflate total taxes with healthcare spending are either silly/odd or deliberately intellectually dishonest, as we'd have to factor in every other variable between us and Europe in that comparison - road funding, foreign aid, military spending, college costs, social welfare programs, etc.
