American healthcare isn't even better than the UK

2019-11-15 17:54:40 UTC  

yes

2019-11-15 17:54:45 UTC  

But the point is, they are almost entirely run by insurance

2019-11-15 17:54:51 UTC  

but their insurance is expensive

2019-11-15 17:54:52 UTC  

slow

2019-11-15 17:54:55 UTC  

i was comparing the us health care to our nhs

2019-11-15 17:54:58 UTC  

and doesnt even cover everytthing

2019-11-15 17:55:07 UTC  

not saying that it's like our private health care

2019-11-15 17:55:12 UTC  

that's why i said it was a false dichotomy

2019-11-15 17:55:19 UTC  

But our NHS in terms of qualiy

2019-11-15 17:55:20 UTC  

is as good

2019-11-15 17:55:21 UTC  

because i'm not sure that it's fair to compare

2019-11-15 17:55:24 UTC  

It's just got wait times

2019-11-15 17:55:40 UTC  

yes, which is why it's a false dichotomy

2019-11-15 17:55:45 UTC  

Im not sure

2019-11-15 17:55:46 UTC  

because it's stupid to even try to compare

2019-11-15 17:55:48 UTC  

you know what the word means

2019-11-15 17:55:49 UTC  

i think anyway

2019-11-15 17:55:55 UTC  

false dichotomy?

2019-11-15 17:55:58 UTC  

Yea

2019-11-15 17:56:08 UTC  

Because you can compare healthcare systems

2019-11-15 17:56:18 UTC  

because that's what the world does, it compares their systems

2019-11-15 17:56:30 UTC  

there are many consistent metrics that you can compare across

2019-11-15 17:56:36 UTC  

price, qualified personnel

2019-11-15 17:56:36 UTC  

ok pep

2019-11-15 17:56:37 UTC  

wait times

2019-11-15 17:56:42 UTC  

it's easily comparable

2019-11-15 17:56:45 UTC  

ok pep

2019-11-15 17:58:19 UTC  
2019-11-15 17:58:25 UTC  

I was reading into the broadband stuff

2019-11-15 17:58:28 UTC  

I think you have a point actually

2019-11-15 17:58:45 UTC  

Most of the infrastructure appears to have been built and subsidised by the tax payers

2019-11-15 17:58:56 UTC  

So it's not like, a successful private enterprise

2019-11-15 17:59:04 UTC  

We've paid for it, and now we're paying extra to rent it out

2019-11-15 18:07:56 UTC  

In 82, 50.2% of the company was sold off, in 91 the government sold off half of its remaining holdings, then 93 sold the remaining off

2019-11-15 18:09:12 UTC  

Pretty much @PureEvilPie

2019-11-15 18:18:56 UTC  

Governments can't be trusted with being the monopoly internet provider

2019-11-15 18:19:04 UTC  

Especially communist ones

2019-11-15 18:20:16 UTC  

Why are the Limp Dems looking to burn 100bn on pointless shit to save the environment while their other ridiculous policies are actively crucifying the environment?
