I agree, in part, with all of you. But don't obfuscate.
You have bloated gov program A. Why endorse B?
@emptywheel @thehuntinghouse @lyda
@aryballoi The difference in cost was $72K. But at least according to studies, Euro treatment = same outcome, FAR less side effects @lyda

@emptywheel@lyda Sure. (You're talking to a German.) But it's not like European-style healthcare affords you more choice. -
@aryballoi No. Tho "choice" in US overstated. Hard to get doctors you want w/o wait, hard to access certain treatments.@lyda -
@emptywheel@lyda You're missing the point. Obamacare and its antecedents aren't representative of how private healthcare works/would work. -
@aryballoi No? How would they work?@lyda -
@emptywheel@lyda Beats me. But it certainly wouldn't resemble this ungodly Frankenbeast you Americans kludged together. -
@emptywheel@lyda Single-payer is extremely expensive. And it's increasingly antithetical to choice, even in Europe. -
@emptywheel@lyda Take Germany. Not only are you required to carry insurance, but there's an ongoing campaign to abolish private carriers. -
@emptywheel@lyda I'm also unsure why the German government has to pay for my acne treatments. - 7 more replies
