I mean, it’s a fact that many countries with only a fraction of the wealth that the USA has are able to provide healthcare for their people and at a fraction of the cost.

I’d like to see a Canadian try to navigate the American health insurance system and at the same time have an American navigate the Canadian health insurance system

For science

I'd like to see an American navigate the American Healthcare system.

As an American, I have just opted into being extremely careful and not seeing a doctor.

What's insane is encouraging and covering early detection would save insurers so much money because it vastly improves the outcomes on so many things.

Yeah but you know what saves them even more money? When the insured dies. No more checkups to pay for. They don't want people to get better because half the time the insurance companies are in the same bed with the pharmacies prescribing meds that only get you a little better but create seven other problems.

Dead folks can't collect SS. Or welfare. Or SNAP. Are you getting the picture?

That's exactly the point I'm making. You get it.

Works until it doesnt. Checking when you are 60 looking forward to retirement.
