its probably the best example
@ChillyWilly An example against private is drugs
I dislike the British NHS but Iike the one used in Germany or Switzerland, minus the mandatory savings account and higher taxes.
Epi Pen for example, but most drugs as well
Iād rather have decent healthcare for everybody than the best healthcare known to man for like 2% of people
Should drugs be private or public?
But then there is the decreased innovation.
kraut and tea made a vidio on this topic
i know hes retarded
but its a pretty good video nonetheless
I kept hearing horrible stories about long lines in Canada and the UK.
@bolivarian_robert this
Exactly right @bolivarian_robert
@Louis XIV (aka 1685Violin) They are myths
My brother has been to the doctors in the UK, there was no wait time
the only downside to Canada's healthcare system is the downsides really
At all
it's a topic politicians avoid talking about
(wait what the fuck did I just say)
the wait-times
am I wrong though?
Well said
I meant the downside is the wait times
which can be up to months
Switzerland is a Universal Private Health Insurance nation. Japan is a Universal Public Insurance nation. Finland is a Universal Government funded nation. Germany is a Universal Public-Private Insurance nation. And the US. is a Non-Universal Insurance nation.
- just as a comparison
France is a decent example of federalized healthcare
although they spend a large portion of their budget on healthcare each year
@GreyWolf Doesn't the US technically have public healthcare as well, in the form of Medicaid?
It is a public option more or less.
It is not used by everyone, thus not universal.
Exactly
And alot of people here don't like Medicaid.
@GreyWolf There is a contradiction in the US whenever I hear about paying a lot for healthcare insurance. On some plans, I heard that, and especially if their jobs provide healthcare, they pay as low as $60 a month. Vincent James once said that he pays over $1200 a month for a family plan and keep in mind, he lives in California. Why is there a discrepancy?
Well they can vary state to state. And different Health Insurance groups have different charge rates.
Its low in Kansas generally. More so when compared to California.
