We've never seen a better cost/benefit ratio

And Luigis life, unfortunately.

I get my news from memes, but I appreciate the source confirming it.

Maybe they could ressurect him and we can watch Luigi shoot him again.

That's per year, it's been less than 2 months since the event, the meme appears to be accurate in that way.

Our healthcare only has those problems after alot of cuts. When it used to cost more, it also used that money more efficiently and effectively. The cuts made it far worse than the respective amount of money "saved", redistributed to worse projects is more accurate.

US healthcare has all those problems and on average costs about twice what any other country spends on healthcare

USian here. We have nursing shortages and long wait times as well, and the private equity fucks taking over our system are always looking for ways to make it worse for more money. One thing they've been pushing lately is trying to widen physician/patient ratios, so that doctors spend even less time with each patient.

And a lot of it is due to conservative meddling and wanting to privatize everything. Private clinics still receive public funding... and more of it than public hospitals! This is one reason why it is getting more fucked.

Funny you ask, they just picked Tim Noel

That's why private healthcare is so much more expensive than public healthcare. They constantly seek more and more profits.

Americans always say their taxes will go up if they get free healthcare and yeah, no shit it needs to be paid by someone. Overall though they will pay much less than whatever insurance they are currently paying for because there is no profit involved.

It is even wilder when one considers how challenging the Canadian Healthcare System actually is to run. They are on the hook to provide every citizen duty of care over a landmass 1.6% larger than the entire US. It regularly employs helicopter ambulances for access to remote communities and has exceedingly challenging terrain and despite this Canada has lower infant mortality, maternal mortality and longer life expectancy outcomes. On the Numbeo Health Care index which ranks quality of care, doctors and facilities it outpaces the US on that metric too. The Government run Medical Services Plan also covers partial on things like Massage Therapy visits, physio appointments and various services covering based on income so more people have access to those services at affordable prices.

It does all of this on an income tax base that charges 4% less than that of the US. It's a monumental effort keeping it afloat. The amount paid to insurers in the US, not even the system just insurance is just mind-boggling from a Canadian perspective.

One would hope that would be a risky move. Other CEOs could be next if there are copycats. They should invest more in the military industrial complex. Those CEOs don't get assassinated, they do the assassinating. Much safer bet.

I believe it's true in the sense that the market cap had decreased by an amount equal to what the Canadian healthcare expenditure was for that duration of time.

It's not true in that market cap isn't directly the company's money - it's just the sum of share values.

Same, what i can tell you is I really don't pay very much of my taxes to healthcare.

In fact, very little, because 1/3 of our municipal and provincial budget goes to the police 🙃

OK, so a singular healthcare provider out of how many? lost ~10% of the total amount it would cost to provide the entire populace of the united states with universal healthcare on par with Canada's - which is already more expensive than it needs to be thanks to US propaganda.

Doing the math, UnitedHealth's net worth before the bullets was very close to enough they could provide universal healthcare to all of the US alone.

Well let's look at per capita costs then. Canada's universal healthcare has a cost of around $1500 per person and covers everyone.

Medicare/Medicaid covers ~60 million Americans and costs 820 billion a year for a cost of $13600 per covered person or a total of $2440 per capita in taxes. There is no rational reason why 820 billion can't provide universal healthcare to every American with change to spare.
