- goldfeld 2y agoYes, those bills should be paid out by the state such as happens in developed countries like Brazil.

- 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.
