It’s the same in Germany, so I’m not sure that actually is what makes things different.
- blntechie 5y agoGermany is public-private healthcare insurance driven healthcare model compared to the pure play private insurance or out-of-pocket driven healthcare model in the US and other poor countries. Germany has statutory public insurance while the examples I’m quoting including the US don’t have any such. For a private driven healthcare system, it’s strange there are no smaller, cheaper and nimble competitors.
- dragonwriter 5y ago> the US and other poor countries. the US is not a poor country, it is an astonishingly rich country whose elites want poor (and working-class more generally) people insecure so as to maximize the degree to which they can be exploited via economic coercion.
- blntechie 5y agoOf course the US is not a poor country. Sorry if my sentence structure meant that way. The US is in a special cohort when it comes to healthcare where rest in the group are all developing or under developed countries.
