- pclmulqdq 2y agoThe point of insurance is to cover unforeseen costs. Not to foist bills you know you're going to have onto other people.
- goldfeld 2y agoYes, those bills should be paid out by the state such as happens in developed countries like Brazil.
- pclmulqdq 2y agoChoose two from: Good/fast/free. Those "civilized" countries universally have very long wait lists that make health outcomes worse.
- consteval 2y agoBut the point of healthcare is to help people not die, regardless of if they can pay or not. We have a problem then, because outcomes don't line up. If anything, healthcare and insurance have almost completely perpendicular incentives. No wonder then we have the world's most inefficient system.
