Thank you very much, this is exactly the point, americans cheer the "free health care" and do not see the point that for example a swiss family has to pay 15-20% of their income every month for compulsory health insurance this is not a choice..one HAS to pay it, additionally, dental stuff for example is not included if it is not from a sickness.
It's absolutely NOT free and a big burden for most citizens who live in country's with Universal healthcare.
- MrBuddyCasino 2y agoIt is mostly an enormous wealth transfer from the young to the old, which now constitute the majority of voters in the western democracies. Meanwhile both midwifes and children doctors are severely under-financed, even common treatments require months of waiting time because the reimbursements do not even cover the costs. Considering that most countries are in a demographic crisis and will go insolvent with 100% certainty due to the mismatch between net payers and their future financial obligations, this is insane.
- peppers-ghost 2y agoImportant context here is that Americans pay on average higher healthcare costs than any country with universal healthcare. We have to pay more and get worse service for that payment. Not only are we paying more, there's more parties involved, more hoops to jump through and it's extremely frustrating.
- BSDobelix 2y agoYes you are absolutely right, your medicare is a scam without any laws to protect the "obligatory" paying customer, that's a "you" problem.
