OK since you wont find that name 1 other 1st world country that has the same system as the US? You know good things are usually copied. Sure if you are rich you can get great healthcare. I for one am very well off, but the #1 fear I live in is that the nest egg I have built up can be wiped away by a family healthcare crisis. Particularly if I wanted to move on and be a "medium chiller" as the article I posted about. Our healthcare system holds back people from the way they want to live. Be that someone who just works for freedom or someone who wants to be an entrepreneur. The only entity our system does wonders for is the middleman health insurance company. |
The quality of US healthcare is #1 in the world. There is a reason the wealthy travel to the US for major medical issues.
The cost of healthcare in the US is ...well, that's a disease unto itself.
But when debating healthcare as a ranking or against other healthcare systems, it's good practice to either separate these two factors or ensure context in your debate. Otherwise people could easily be debating 2 very different factors and never know it.
