Yes, exactly my point. You compare alternatives and come up with value.

- 11101010001100 3y agoDo you compare alternatives based on value when making a health care choice? From what I can see you get the cost AFTER the issue has been resolved.
- JellyBeanThief 3y agoI'm really tired of people who think they can ignore all systemic economic problems by invoking value as this magical substance that can take any shape needed to conceal the fact that: A lot of people get paid a lot of money just to fill up society's `node_modules`, and this is not something for which the end users deserve blame or responsibility.
- LeafItAlone 3y ago> I'm really tired of people who think they can ignore all systemic economic problems by invoking value as this magical substance As someone part of a family that has recently consumed a lot of healthcare (myself included), I am not ignoring them at all, pretending they don’t exist, or arguing that we don’t need significant reform (I think we do). But they currently do exist and they currently are part of the cost and therefore currently dictate the value.
- november84 3y agoTo put it plainly, in America, the value of Healthcare compared to the cost is shit. Your beholden to your employment to keep it and if you work for a smaller company they usually have shittier plans leading to worse bargaining power. Also if that company is looking to cut costs they may choose even worse plans which you have ZERO control over. Just because that's the way it is doesn't mean things couldn't improve.
