SvennoJ said: In the US the idea to take care of your own problems is a prevalent one, why should you pay for someone else's conditions. |
That is one big problem. Basically everybody pays for everybody, yes.
So in the end you might have best health and only pay for others, or you might have a heart attack and get cancer and need an artificial heart as well as expensive medication and so on and no health insurance will try to withdraw or something like that.
And the best thing is, that sytem is fair because even if it tries to keep you healthy, if you get ill, your kid is an early born or whatever else happens, the health care sytem will pay the bills.
