If we're just handing out everything for free then I'd argue it's also better economically for people (and particularly kids) to have free eye care, free dental care, and a million other things I'd rather see subsidized over free Syphilis tests.
- stryan 5y agoEconomically, I absolutely agree and fortunately we have the power to do both. Plus Syphilis testing is very cheap, relative to most testing (about $20-$50 for early infections) and testing costs are only going down. Rapid testing is even cheaper, down to something like $5 per test.
- fao_ 5y agoWhy does it have to be either/or?
- Perseids 5y agoI 100% agree with you and I'm sorry this is not the case in the country you live in. I keep forgetting how bad the health care system is in some parts of the rich and developed world. I agree with my sibling comments that fortunately you can have all of those for free, for affordable prices for society, if the right policies are implemented.
