How do health care & costs in the US compare with other developed nations?
Kinda looks like there might be room for improvement, wouldn't you say? Note the graph goes 1970-2018. Source: [b]https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/life-expectancy-vs-health-expenditure[/b]

@checkoutanytime says [quote]insurance is a socialist thing, i dont see as American. We are a Capitalist society, we reap what we sow, we DO NOT BEG FOR HAND OUTS![/quote] DUUUDE!!! Insurance isn't a handout - it's a service people pay for! Ask Donald Trump, he has insurance on all his real estate. Or maybe you think he's a socialist, [b]LOL!!![/b]
@checkoutanytime Actually, most highly successful people will tell you that insurance is how they REMOVE fear, [b]LOL!!![/b]
Still ducking my question about catastrophic insurance, I see. But maybe this is your way of saying you have NO catastrophic insurance, and thus if you have a terrible accident you will be passing your costs on to your fellow Americans.
@ElwoodBlues doesn't that explain how Americans financed Hitler, then bought 13,000 of the nasty fucks to influence our Government? Are you really that fucking simple?
@ElwoodBlues thats how i live my life, without all the communist bull shit, that John Smith created among other Russian loyals that you people love to worship over creation itself, as stated in our founding docs
@checkoutanytime Other than you re-announcing to the world that you're batshit crazy, what does that mean? No, scratch that; you're just attempting to distract yet again.
I just have one question for you: who will pay the medical bills if you get in a catastrophic accident?? You keep ducking, and I'm gonna keep asking.
@ElwoodBlues i dont drive like a lunatic, im really not concerned about my health, ill drop when im done, the end. My kids are healthy, and get their check ups, when they're grown they can decide for themselves.
@checkoutanytime Often, car accidents are the other guy's fault. Do you wear some kind of prominent "do not resuscitate" badge or bracelet? If you collapse with a heart attack, you'll be rushed to the hospital and receive life saving care without such a badge. You could nod off tonight and wake up a week later with a $100,000 medical bill.
And if you DO wear some kind of prominent "do not resuscitate" indicator, you could nod off tonight and leave your kids orphaned.
@checkoutanytime [quote]so they would pay for my catastrophic accident, either by insurance or court orders[/quote] So you're depending on "commie" insurance after all!! Good to know!!
And if they are like you and don't have enough insurance? They'll declare bankruptcy and who will pay your costs? And if you have a heart attack or cancer?
@ElwoodBlues they will be court ordered to pay, so its not on me. If i get cancer, i get cancer, im not going to treat it bc, its my time to go, im really not a selfish person.
@checkoutanytime Courts can't squeeze blood from a stone, dude. Unlicensed people steal cars and drive them and can't pay for the accidents they cause dude. You are actually depending on the [i]other guy[/i] to be responsible enough to have insurance, and that doesn't always happen. BTW, you never answered my question about a prominent "do not resuscitate" badge or bracelet. I'm guessing you don't have one.
@checkoutanytime You are depending on the [i]other guy[/i] to be responsible enough to have insurance; that's not moot.
And my arguments about heart attack are not moot; as I said you could nod off tonight and wake up a week later with a $100,000 medical bill. But you're not gonna get a DNR bracelet, are you? Your kids need you too much.
