This difference here is it’s not about the cost. Those are fake. Its about what is paid. The United States has non-discriminatory laws in place where healthcare providers can’t charge two groups different pricing. So what happens is hospitals and such charge insurance 100k for a service, and then discount it down to 20k. The cost of the service is reported as 100k, but the paid amount is 20k. Because of this individuals are forced to pay 100k if they don’t have insurance. Or if they don’t negotiate a rate on healthcare. This creates an environment where individuals feel they MUST have health insurance. Because of that health insurance companies are treated like they’re essential and can’t fail. It’s all a fake fucking sham. None of this is necessary.
