Or maybe they were young people who haven’t used the healthcare system at all.
This has been my personal experience. There isn’t much overlap between folks who think the US has a good healthcare system and folks who have actually needed to use said system.
I’m more an outlier, but I have stage 5 kidney failure (at 42) and I’m on dialysis. It’s roughly $750,000 a year +meds so closer to 800k. I’ve paid about $200 over a year and a half. With Medicare, Medicare, and my work insurance.
The bills are absolutely absurd, but they’re all paid. That being said, they should be nowhere near that high, and just because I’m not racking up bills doesn’t mean it’s ok. But I am glad everything is covered for me at least with the current shit health insurance system.
And what? 31% died waiting for insurance to cover some medical shit they needed?
