America thinks of itself as a land of fierce mavericks, but in my experience America is more of a culture of timid rule-followers where deference to authority is paramount. I mean, it's actually illegal to cross the street in America, and people take that rule very seriously...
There are 530,000 medical bankruptcies per year in the US (it's 0 in most first-world countries). If I'm not mistaken, the last time there were any protests connected to healthcare was in 2017, and it involved *hundreds* of people, in a nation of 327 million
You can demand better, but only if you realize it's up to you
Somewhat misleading statistic, but the reality is just as ugly for all kinds of associated income-related issues.
This discrepancy is crazy! Crazy telling of the absurdity, so crazy I feel obligated to ask for sources if anyone knows good ones, as a quick google seems to suggest lack of clarity and lots of non-primary citation rabbit holes :(
The trade off is public medicine is horrible at advancing medical knowledge and innovation. The problem in the US is unlike eye, teeth and enhancement surgeries people don't shop for hospital care. Hospitals charge whatever they want. There's little incentive to control cost.
It should be a requirement to have insurance. There should also be a law that requires hospitals to list fees up front and a percentage pay to control how much a hospital charges and encourage shopping. Just 2 states in the US allow a person to drive a car without insurance
Holy crap that is a terrible statistic. I knew this was a problem but never realized it was such a huge number. That's on the order of 1:700 Americans, including infants and children, so for working age and pensioned people the number must be far higher still.
