the healthcare I had access to in the US was far better than the healthcare I had access to in New Zealand (or anywhere else), regardless of how much I was willing to pay.
Can you back that up with data?

- causi 3y agoThe numbers I've seen do not support your position. If your opinion is based on evidence, show me that evidence. I'm willing to change my mind, but not based simply on "trust me bro".
- AnthonyMouse 3y agoThe US has some of the best healthcare providers in the world. They also have some very bad ones. But gains are harder to achieve than losses in healthcare, so when you average in the bottom of the barrel you get some bad numbers even if both the median and the best available provider is above the international average. Basically, healthcare quality in places that are both very rural and very poor (e.g. West Virginia and Mississippi) can be awful and it brings down the average even though the system provides better outcomes for most people in most other parts of the US.
