This is a quick rant that is going to be obliviated, but is this really worthy of gaining traction on the front page of HN? It’s a quick anecdote from Reddit about how health care is affordable outside the US. This is just comment bait for everyone with a relevant gripe who wants to use this as a soapbox for how they would change the US healthcare system or an echo chamber for validating their troubles. There’s no tech discussed, no news involved, and it’s the same conversations that come up in every healthcare related article’s comment section.
I don’t really care what people use this site for. I have no authority as a gatekeeper for your discussions or this community. I just think it’s really lame that a link like this gets traction
