I’ll never understand why we pretend that things are this expensive.
USA, of course, because I can’t imagine anywhere else in the world working this much harder and not at all smarter.
FYI, Medicare is our government insurance for older or disabled people and is paid for mainly with taxpayer dollars as well as “small” premiums by members.
Yeah, people complain about America’s healthcare system, but they forget that basically no countries provide free mental health care. Or dental for some reason. It’s kinda weird, they’re using America as an excuse to not improve their own situation.
You are Wrong.
Almost all European countries have healthcare available for all citizens. Most European countries have systems of competing private health insurance companies, along with government regulation and subsidies for citizens who cannot afford health insurance premiums.Countries with universal healthcare include Austria, Belarus, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malta, Moldova,[56] Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom.

All residents of Japan are required by the law to have health insurance coverage. People without insurance from employers can participate in a national health insurance programme, administered by local governments.

For all you wrote, you failed to read. I said mental health care and dental. And when you go looking, a lot of those countries are missing one or the other.
Show me.
I have free physical, mental, dental and eye in the US.
And for all you’ve written in other threads, you’re so incredibly wrong mods deleted it all. You constantly fail. Sucks to suck.
It’s not “for some reason”. Dental was covered or heavily subsidized in Canada at least to 18 years old, until the conservative goverment convinced idiots only poor people without jobs need dental care. “If you work, youll have dental”, and now they take it from our total compensation.
I have teeth and mental health covered through my employer, which sadly doesn’t fit all situations that need dental and mental health (hence why tying insurance to employers is stupid).
I got a lot of teeth work done in the UK while I lived there on a Visa, and it cost almost nothing without employers insurance.
People complain about the american healthcare system because it’s an oligarchy and oligarchs in other countries are trying to do the same. US just showed them with enough money and lies you can get there.
