Plus, US Healthcare system works for US, don't means it will work in other places

2018-02-07 04:04:35 UTC  

It provides 75% of the worlds medical advances

2018-02-07 04:04:45 UTC  

it must be doing something right...

2018-02-07 04:05:00 UTC  

Yeah, making a fuck ton of people rich

2018-02-07 04:05:02 UTC  

That's for sure

2018-02-07 04:05:10 UTC  

Not saying it's something bad tho

2018-02-07 04:05:23 UTC  

Health insurance ≠ medical engineering

2018-02-07 04:05:36 UTC  

They're almost completely unrelated

2018-02-07 04:06:14 UTC  

That's like saying F1 drivers make incredible improvements in formula 1 cars

2018-02-07 04:06:22 UTC  

The amount people make on investing money into RnD has nothing to do with medical advancment /s

2018-02-07 04:06:43 UTC  

it has a lot to do with a freeish market system

2018-02-07 04:06:58 UTC  

that protects intelectual property

2018-02-07 04:07:09 UTC  

and does not set price controls

2018-02-07 04:07:10 UTC  

how is Obamacare btw?

2018-02-07 04:07:19 UTC  

It's gross

2018-02-07 04:07:21 UTC  

I'm actually asking

2018-02-07 04:07:29 UTC  

If they make a lot of money because they overprice every procedure, they sure will have more money to invest in research

2018-02-07 04:07:54 UTC  

how are prices set?

2018-02-07 04:07:55 UTC  

Obamacare is bad because the compromises made it bad for everyone involved

2018-02-07 04:08:11 UTC  

It more or less forced you to buy healthcare whether you like it or not

2018-02-07 04:08:18 UTC  

You either buy or get fined a shit ton

2018-02-07 04:08:34 UTC  

same in Canada

2018-02-07 04:08:36 UTC  

Idk tbh, but I imagine it's not a fair price

2018-02-07 04:08:38 UTC  

Is it?

2018-02-07 04:08:40 UTC  

And did it make the healthcare better?

2018-02-07 04:08:49 UTC  

It's exactly the same

2018-02-07 04:08:51 UTC  

didn't premiums shoot up?

2018-02-07 04:08:56 UTC  

Imagine my shock

2018-02-07 04:08:59 UTC  

There is no such thing as a price being fair

2018-02-07 04:09:13 UTC  

only supply and demand

2018-02-07 04:09:27 UTC  

Now....

2018-02-07 04:09:39 UTC  

The goal is to heal the citizens or to have profit?

2018-02-07 04:09:45 UTC  

BOTH

2018-02-07 04:09:51 UTC  

^

2018-02-07 04:09:57 UTC  

return on investment requires both

2018-02-07 04:10:02 UTC  

But, what's more important?

2018-02-07 04:10:10 UTC  

@Fulcrum010 are you.. a commie?

2018-02-07 04:10:18 UTC  

@obrallaghan
Really?

2018-02-07 04:10:25 UTC  

well?

2018-02-07 04:10:29 UTC  

Based on what you say that?

2018-02-07 04:10:37 UTC  

"The goal is to heal the citizens or to have profit?"
