Lots of countries do not have single payer healthcare, and have an insurance system that resembles America's, yet they don't have America's ridiculous prices.
- dragonwriter 3y ago> Lots of countries do not have single payer healthcare, and have an insurance system that resembles America's, No, they don't, beyond “private insurance exists”. The US has the largest share of the population uncovered by health insurance in the OECD besides Mexico, and that's after improving considerably because of the ACA.
- shiroiushi 3y ago>No, they don't, beyond “private insurance exists”. Yes, they do. Here in Japan, everyone is covered by either government insurance, or private insurance that's partially paid by their employer. Sound familiar? Germany's system is similar. These are not single-payer systems.
