Considering health is quite literally the most important thing in your life (can't spend it when you're dead anyway unlike the Egyptian pharaohs) I do not understand why so many complain about the cost of healthcare.
- brimble 5y agoIf healthcare cost 80% of GDP, would you still not understand?
- AniseAbyss 5y agoIf that 80% kept you alive? No. But when you are twenty I suppose one sees health differently. When you are 60 and take a bunch of pills to keep yourself from dying it suddenly all makes sense...
- Dylan16807 5y agoAt a certain point... how many hours of your life are you willing to spend working to extend your life by an average of 1 month / 500 waking hours? If almost all of GDP was healthcare, with costs dramatically increasing with age, then that number climbs for each additional month and reaches into the thousands. I wouldn't make that trade, especially because I'd be spending so many of those hours in my early to mid life.
