Lol « participating for costs » is a staple of American healthcare and it’s 10x more expensive than not participating for cost literally every other country :-).
And then you get the usual people not going to the doctor when they’re sick (staple of american life) and infecting everyone.
- cyborgx7 8y agoExactly "participating for costs" is exactly what is destroying the American health system. And it's what sets it appart from most other developed nations where helthcare works. The idea that this is what is missing, is one of the worst conclusions I've ever seen.
- refurb 8y agoMy understanding is that there are several countries in the EU where you are expected to pony up money for healthcare. It's usually token amounts, but the fact they do that indicates that's not what's "destroying the American health system".
- thatfrenchguy 8y agoToken amounts means you're never going to ask yourself "can I afford this 3 euros ?", compared to the "should I really do this x-ray and eat up my 500$ deductible ?"
