Considering the vast majority of Americans do not have jobs that provide good insurance nor have thousands of dollars in savings, I would say you are agreeing that no, the vast majority does not have "great healthcare".
Which is precisely what was claimed.
- senordevnyc 7y agoThe situation is not good but not quite as dire as you claim. Roughly half of Americans get healthcare from their employer. And while “good insurance” is subjective, it looks like 75% of those people have deductibles under $2000. So not great, but not quite as horrible as “vast majority” imo. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/25/health/employer-health-insurance-cost.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/25/health/employer-health-in...
- jfkebwjsbx 7y agoLet's sink that in: 2/3 of the population from your own numbers do not have insurance or an insurance they can pay the deductible for. Alright, it is not a vast majority numerically. It is still a catastrophe waiting to happen in comparison with other countries.
- senordevnyc 7y agoNot sure how you came up with 2/3rds. A significant portion of the half of Americans who don’t get healthcare from their employer get it from Medicare, Medicaid, or other government programs.
