Turns out it wasnt that cheap I suppose

Around 8% of our GDP.

Population and culture

Sorry, that's up to 9.1%

In 2017

Culturaly you are healthier than the us

True, Americans will cost more.

You walk more and eat less

It's too easy to get fat in America tbh

Truth

a staple fish diet helps, too

I was there for 2 weeks, your 'standard' is our large..

Or extra large.

Still my own fault tbh

It's dirt cheap as well

Yeah, portion sizes

thats my hump

Yeah, it's always pretty tricky

I wonder if the higher EU food standards impacts it much?

They do

Our food standards are a joke

Embrace the regulation brothers.

you mean how basically they wont let you fish your own waters? I imagine it does

Kek

The only way I could see universal healthcare in the US is with a massove cultural shift with food and automating medicine

Not really automating medicine

But regulating it.

Then people will just stop becoming doctors

Not at all.

Just on the pharmaceutical companies.

thays a fucking jump

People dont strive for excellence when they get nothing in return

Medical school takes alot of time, effort, and money

Part of that is to weed out people without the affinity for the medical field

how is preventing pharma companies from price gouging going to impact doctors? they don't get that profit

seriously, whats being taken away from doctors

Price gouging is already illegal

keep telling yourself that

Citation please

The only time i can think of price gounging in medication

Is with medicare
