@anilsaidso People die in the states cause they can’t get insulin lol

@azza_dawg I live in Canada.

@anilsaidso Still beats the US system by miles. At least we're not in debt for life after a serious hospitalization.

@WD69869049 Wasn't comparing the cost or quality of different systems. Point was that the term 'free' is inaccurate.

@anilsaidso Universal healthcare is cheaper for everyone in the long run. In our current system, you’re actually paying a lot more and getting less healthcare.

@JoeCoolTrader The incentives for govt are counter to that.

@anilsaidso Australia's health care system is brilliant. I am un sure how our Taxes compare to the USA, however when tragedy strikes and emergency services are required - the fact that it is either free or generally minimal in expense is worth it.

@SirTrunk Wasn't making a judgement on quality of different systems. Just saying 'free' isn't accurate. The Medicare levy in Oz is 2% of taxable income.

@anilsaidso Wait, you do crypto and you are posting this meme? Physician, health thyself.

@LeviTD I don't 'do crypto'. I save in bitcoin.

@anilsaidso @saifedean Relying on a third-party payer puts our care decisions at the whim of what an insurer or government will allow. We get what we pay for.

@anilsaidso 🖨️

@anilsaidso @saifedean That's why in Europe it's called social health insurance not healthcare. Because it's a paid insurance service by individuals or the government for the unemployed.

@anilsaidso "Who pays the government?" - The government pays itself by printing trillions of $ out of nothing.

@anilsaidso Somebody else. Socialism is the Belief that you can make the other guy pay for your free shit, while ignoring the 10 guys who are looking to you to pay for theirs.

@anilsaidso “People who make more money than me which is only fair”

@anilsaidso Who gets crippling medical bills dogging them in some case for the rest of thier natural lives And who can walk out of the hospital and go for a stoll in the park without seeing huge hikes in thier taxes or NI outside normal budget announcements

@anilsaidso @saifedean He doesnt

@anilsaidso US pays highest money for the least care. Noone argues free healthcare has no cost lol. it's just less costly than what US has

@anilsaidso Yeah nobody I know calls it free. Sounds like someone trying to make a point and sounding a bit weak. Most important question should be, do the most vulnerable in society have access to a high standard of care? If not then is that a society to look up to?
