Sadly, you’re probably right. The thing that gets me is that y’all essentially got universal healthcare, with a middle man. Where do americans think their premiums are going? They aren’t segregating all the funding to each person and spending that only on each person. It’s going to pay for other people’s surgeries and shit. You got universal healthcare, but y’all paying 1000000x as much for it.
We’re paying twice as much for it, but getting less and worse care because most of that money is going to death panels and shitbags like David Cordani, Patrick Conway, and Mark Bertolini.
Most of the developed world pays between $3K and $6K per capita. the USA pays $14K per capita last i looked. For worse care, and just as long wait times as universal healthcare, if not longer. Oh, unless you’re dumpy, then you get seen straight away.
Don’t forget all the time we have to waste arguing with insurance companies to get them to cover our wife’s ongoing chemotherapy even though nothing has fucking changed
A) its not universal because plenty of people don’t have coverage.
B) many of our insurance companies and “healthcare providers” are for profit and traded on the stock market, so our premiums are going to shareholders, with just enough paying for actual treatment to keep all of us from going full Luigi

We dont though, tons of people forgo healthcare because they can’t afford it.

I’m sorry, I hope your wife pulls through. She got this!
If by “this” you mean an autoimmune disease for which there is no cure, yup!
