Just reading the article and remembering my last hospital visit gives me a headache. I got better treatment in Tunisia than at an American hospital in a wealthy area.
What an embarrassment for us being the only developed country without universal healthcare.
- username_my1 4y agoI mean even with public health system you still will have private hospitals The problem here is the excessive charging itself. Or the fact that they can think they can do it.
- didibus 4y agoThat's not always the case, and is a choice to still allow private hospitals or not and in what capacity. In Quebec for example all hospitals are public and you can't have a private hospital. In the rest of Canada, hospitals are required to be not-for-profit, though they are still private, you can't have a for-profit private hospital.
- ProfXponent 4y agoAgreed, the US healthcare system is a joke. I’m a US citizen living abroad and my biggest fear is getting sick when I go home to visit family.
- fzeroracer 4y agoThis is one of the reasons why I've been seeking opportunities outside of the US. I saw my parents go bankrupt over healthcare bullshit and I refuse to let that happen to me.
- ProfXponent 4y agoCannot recommend this enough. Life becomes a lot easier once you leave that failing state.
