Unfortunately the flip side to this is greed. No other country would put up with such blatant disregard for people's health in favor of greed.

- pfisch 7y agoExcept for the literally hundreds of other countries that do just that... I would usually supply a list but what you said is so ridiculous I don't even think I need to. I mean I can't even think of a country where what you said is true. Greed is trumping the health of the people in basically every country in the world.
- coenhyde 7y agoThe only fair comparison is with other OECD countries. Unless you consider the US a third world country...
- pfisch 7y agoAre you suggesting the other OECD countries don't also have an absurd wealth distribution that absolutely has a massive impact on the health of the citizens?
- 4ntonius8lock 7y agoThe topic you are answering to is about health care bills. It is only reasonable that people answer on topic (abusive medical billing in the US) You are going off topic (wealth distribution) to try and prove a point. This is called whataboutism (when one topic is discussed and someone says 'well what about this other topic') - it's generally frowned upon as it degrades communication for those who like to find the truth and further understanding. Whataboutism is generally classified as a sophist technique (persuasion) vs what most rational people I know value: dialectics (inquiry and understanding)
- pfisch 7y agoNo, I am responding to this statement and staying entirely on topic: "No other country would put up with such blatant disregard for people's health in favor of greed." You are trying to limit the scope of "greed" to something that only applies to the US, when in reality it applies to pretty much every country in the world.
