And living tax, breathing tax

Google only received 800 million in subsidies, a fraction of their total profits

Whoops, I guess that's 100% tax, might as well become communist

We can’t ban you huh?

No shit not to mention healthcare is a major industry making up 33% of our total economy

I live in a country with free healthcare and let me tell you, it’s not plain sailing

The insurance companies need to go

That guy is gone

@Lextreme thank you

How much of the medical bills are from doctors? Very little

It's hospital inflation plus insurance companies

Price is the issue and data management practices

There needs to be "blue book value" for practices

Banks had this problem in 1980s and industry standards were applied. Then they became a commodity

We didnt have to nationalize either

The problem is hospitals and pricing

Not to mention US pays more for pharma to make up for the lower costs going to social medicine programs

In other countries

Americans have to pay for healthcare right?

Yed

Ok

Nothing is free

In my country, the healthcare system is nationalised by the government

However

“Free” healthcare isn’t always fast healthcare

Currently my country is going through struggles with its healthcare system

It's not free

I know

You pay taxes

Taxpayer funded

I don’t like it when it’s called free healthcare

Yes

Still

There’s a lot of problems

Like people have died waiting for transplants and waiting for hospital beds

GP appointments are all gone in less than an hour after they open

There’s a shortage of healthcare employees

And there are too many people who are part of the healthcare system

Anyway
