Full title: 92% of American adults aren’t going to a doctor because they cannot afford it. The health insurance industry must be dissolved & all of its executives criminally prosecuted for murder, conspiracy, and treason.

They do suck but if they weren’t there who’s paying the actual price? It’s 20k$ for some shit to get done and with insurance it brings it down to like 300$
Your taxes. In no other country does the procedure actually cost 20k. It’s been inflated to ridiculous amounts by the doctors because the insurance pays it.
For is example : UK your taxes pay for it. In Germany your employers and yourself fund the trusts.
It’s not free. In the US it’s upfront and privatized and that’s what makes it expensive to the patient.
A 2,000$ Colonoscopy could be 300$ to the patient in the US but you won’t see that upfront in the UK or Germany but you’re paying the cost passively.
Yes, it’s fucking expensive because private insurances run the system. Nationalized Healthcare would be a tax based system with negotiated rates by the government and the hospitals, pre-set like your prices at a coffee shop and that’s the set rate you’re paying through taxes.
Same with Germany except it’s a social fund that everyone’s paying.
it’s not fuckin’ free
No one has said it’s free. I however have said that running it through taxes with no private doctors or insurance makes it a hell of a lot cheaper, because you cut out a lot of greedy business people whose whole purpose in life is to deny you care.
