People go to private practices and/or foreign nations and get their proper healthcare there, e.g. dental work

Those numbers don't show up on the "medicare for all" shit

@Tiberius

Look into concierge. It's pretty cheap then you just need major medical.

Single payer numbers are mostly camouflaging the shit reality

I have blue cross blue shield I am largely good my man

Part of why it is higher is because I am obese

Costs me an extra 550$ a year to be overweight

But im okay with that because it costs ME 550$ to be overweight not everyone else.

implying if someone's poor enough to need medicare they can afford to just up and go to another fucking country for any fucking reason, let alone medical care

Concierge is kinda awesome. You pay a flat monthly for a group of doctors. They have specialist, do house calls, etc. Not too pricey either because no middle man.

sounds more like a god damn pilgrimage

@Jokerfaic that's *exactly* what my mom used to do with us, and she was poor

Travelled to Hungary, which is right next to Austria, so we could get cheaper dental care, which then doesn't show up both in expenses and treatment in the Austrian system

We're still doing that

>Austrian

oh well if its right fucking next door that might make it cheaper

Mexico is pretty next door

No it was cheaper because it's fucking Hungary, which is its own shithole

Panama isnt much further

Or go to canada

So is canada

Yet there's pretty large costs to get to those places @Tiberius

What if u live in like kansas

Costs most people cannot cover.

I feel like you dont travel much weez

Travelling is literally my job

Travelling is not that expensive if you do it right

It mostly takes time out of your schedule

I feel like you don't realise how little money average households have.

In the UK perhaps

depends where

"In other words, 55% of Americans are living paycheck-to-paycheck"

I've lived in a poor household, I know how tough things can be

I know many little tricks people do to get by

Avg income in the us per household is 59k

That is how much I make

Fuck outtahere
