That "if you can afford it" is an important qualifier. I read people struggle to source insulin in the US.

- pc86 2y agoI meant "if, as a foreign national, you can afford to fly to the US for healthcare." Rich Europeans flying to the US for specialized healthcare happens a lot more than rich Americans flying to the EU for specialized healthcare and there's a reason for that.
- kelnos 2y agoSo what, though? Is the US's advantage in specialized healthcare worth the income inequality and multiple-jobs-just-to-survive culture? I think it's not hard to make an argument that it isn't worth it.
- lolc 2y agoSo what's the reason? Or why should I care about the quality of life of the richest?
