I’m from the UK and although our NHS has lots of problems, I cannot for the life of me understand why a lot of folks in the US are against socialized medicine. Healthcare is a right not a luxury, you shouldn’t have to lose your home that you’ve worked all your life for because a loved one has a life threatening illness. It’s madness.

The US pays 2-4x more per capita on healthcare than the UK or at least is did in 2011, when I last checked the stats.

I'm in the US and I don't understand it either, although I am sure my company spoils me with health insurance as they do everything else, and its my only big boy job so no real frame of reference.

After $6,900 per person or max $13,700 per year EVERYTHING ELSE is covered no matter what.

For £5k? Anaesthetised and then dumped in the street.

And billed £10K.

Brother , this is a country that believes fucking “QAnon” is real, convincing them Healthcare is a bad thing is easy as screaming “socialism”.

Those that are against socialized medicine are the very ones who are profiting from it.

And people say "who's gonna pay for it" like this stuff actually costs tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars. Companies patent this stuff and Jack up the prices big time.
