[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reactions to US HC and what HC looks like in an actual developed nation: [youtube]https://youtu.be/eXorxvAQPE8?si=eO8QdwcZjaeaclyg[/youtube] [youtube]https://youtu.be/Qz0ZTqaCWhk?si=7tVQ710oY3Ga4yfp[/youtube][/quote] From the UK [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kll-yYQwmuM[/youtube][/quote] My friend in the UK gets an idea of the cost of medical procedures only when she has to pay the vet bills for her dog. There's no subsidy for that.[/quote] My friend in the UK and I had kids around the same time. Both of us had c sections. She paid $20 for pain killers when she was released from the hospital. I paid $6K (deductible out of pocket) + health insurance premiums for 12 months. The hospital charged me $10 per one tylenol pill. There is no doubt that the NHS is collapsing, too, though. But, the thing is, you can still pay for private care in the UK and not use NHS, and it would still be cheaper than here in the US. I know someone who worked for the NHS, and I told them how much my ultrasound cost (it was like $1000), and they were gobsmacked. Even private, ultrasound in the UK is a couple of hundred. The US health system is broken. We have the best advancement in medicine, but what good is that when the majority of people cannot access it? It's only for the wealthy.[/quote]
