While you are here, consider chipping in $3 to @justicedems to help elect Democrats in Congress who will fight for Medicare for All.

@_waleedshahid Well its NOT free in UK It costs £145bn ($190bn) a year That's about £2,230 ($2,900 per person per year) Paid for by Tax Payers for a 3rd rate service Over 4 hour waits in A&E 3 week wait to see a GP No accurate figures but only about 20M people might use NHS in any year

@_waleedshahid Instead of arguing about how to pay for America’s health care, we should be trying to lower the price. We are so busy debating how to pay our criminally high medical bills that we’ve forgotten a robbery is taking place.

@_waleedshahid It's disgusting what health care costs in America.

@_waleedshahid @Armyofbill Healthcare in the UK is free bc it's dogshit. They deny you simple tests your GP would do for $40 for years.

@_waleedshahid So move there.

@_waleedshahid @bryancrumpler Why does it cost this much? A combination of what things *actually cost*, which is more than British folks would expect to pay, plus the additional overhead of the bureaucracy / administration of insurers bickering over who has to pay it.

@_waleedshahid This is why I refuse to accept the narrative that our movement is the extreme. We are the center. The "centrists" are the extremists. The way we do things makes zero sense to other modern countries

@_waleedshahid @jsvnm Now ask em how much they pay in income taxes

@_waleedshahid People jeer at me because I want to move to Canada and they’re like “oh you’ll spend many hours at the hospital” and I’m like “yeah I’ll learn temporary treatment and at least I’m not paying $50,000 for antibiotics (this is an exaggeration but give it a few years and it won’t be)

@_waleedshahid Had enough of the #OnePartySystem keeping this healthcare extortion in place? 👉 #PeoplesPartyNow

@_waleedshahid Americans really be thinking they live in the greatest country in the world, the land of opportunity.... If only they could see how the rest of the world laughs at them...

@_waleedshahid Yeah healthcare for 66 million people is easy but for 350 plus million people it's a bit harder then just raising taxes or eating the rich

@_waleedshahid @TheSaleem_ guy it’s this expensive?? 🤯

@_waleedshahid @lu_simmonds

@_waleedshahid Why are you asking people this? People in the US have insurance. People here don’t need it as we pay for the NHS through tax.

@_waleedshahid @mbleasdale I like it when the young lady says so if U are poor U are dead ...for an inhaler...too funny

@_waleedshahid I’m packing my bags

@_waleedshahid @Tucker5law If you don't have insurance in the US you are pretty much screwed. Even with that insurance, there is often a co-pay, so things we take for granted here cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars. $10,000 for delivery of a baby is on the low side.
