Last I checked the US spent more than any comparable country on healthcare/capita, roughly twice the OECD average.
And, they have to deal with medical bankruptcies, using Uber instead of ambulances, insulin rationing, and whatnot

yup. Last time i checked, america was paying about $14K per capita, and the rest of the developed world was paying $3K-6K

but what about the shareholders?!?

[-] aeternum 6 points 2 weeks ago

exactly. Fuck the people, just as long as shareholders get that extra 1c per share.

It's the least effective system, but at least it's not ~~communism~~ ~~socialism~~ a system where tax money is used to cover human rights
