Ameribrahs, welcome to universal healthcare

I pay £200/month($260) for something I've used once in 27 years to repair an ear perforation which took 2 years until surgery from first seeing my GP.

Good ****...

So you are mad that you are healthy?

Was the issue with your ear particularly painful or life threatening?

My last experience w/private US health insurance:

- employer paid $10K a year
- spouse paid about $300 a month
- still had a deductible, then 80/20 up to max OOP
- just the employer portion + employee portion for 3 person family= $378 per person per month

Then above that the US spends almost $5000 per year per capita for publically funded healthcare which we received nothing for, but if you want to divvy it up equally that would be over $400 each per month more above the private pay plan.



Comes up to almost $795 per person per month for sweet f*ck all if you don't receive any actual medical care.

I pay about 30k for my yearly checkup, plus whatever my mandatory benefits at work cost. We will never improve our system because any solutions are derided as 'American.'

They ****ed up the op, turned the perforation into a pin hole, which let water in only at high pressure, lost 70% hearing.
I paid private a month later and it was fixed.
Less we forget, Americas health care is the best in the world, if you want it. In the UK, we pay for bang average and can't top it up.

So would you wait 2 years if you didn't have it?
if i'm diagnosed with stomach cancer in the UK, i'm half as likely to survive 5 years as I am in the US.

You don't have to pay for it, yet, I do.

the healthcare system in the US is still bullchit. I didn't have healthcare there and needed an ambulance (which ended up being a false alarm) and it cost 2,000$. they couldn't justify to me why they charged that much. It's impossible to get answers from hospitals. they just send you a bill with no explanation

Universal healthcare is crayon-eating levels of retarded. No way in hell should I pay for fat people to make bad decisions and have crappy health. There is no personal accountability or responsibility in a socialized healthcare system. To pretend like it’s better because “free healthcare for everyone!”
In all actuality it’s more like expensive healthcare for everyone so that a few don’t pay as much. Also, most states have Medicaid for those that can’t afford healthcare.

You’re talking absolute bollocks

It’s never been £200 a month, it’s more like £10 a month and it ensures the healthcare of you and the entire country.

I got charged $1200 for a doctor to look at a fresh surgery scar that was weeping, when I asked for a detailed review it dropped to $800, then I saw they had charged me for chit that I didn’t even use, final bill was $300.

US hospitals are actual scammers lol

Srs sorry that you had such a negative experience and glad that you were able to get it repaired.

Not sure what you mean by "don't have to pay for it".

Single payer (or at least a single payer OPTION) is a long way from communism.

Like I pointed out above you are ALREADY PAYING FOR OTHER PEOPLE'S HEALTHCARE. To the tune of near $5000 per year per capita. You are paying into that via taxes (and massive US deficit) and are getting nothing for it.

Yes, most people will qualify for Medicaid, a subsidized plan on the ACA marketplace, or employer sponsored insurance. Not everyone though.

UK appears to be underfunded. See chart and compare to Germany. I expect most people complain about the lack of health services, but no one wants to pay increased taxes to improve the availability and quality.

Have you ever used the NHS?

It’s amazing and an absolute lifesaver for many around the country.

NHS is literally the best thing about England. I no longer live in the UK but if ever there is a health problem in the future I can go straight back to UK and have free health care.

When I lived in Thailand I developed Cellulitus and I was severely sick, not far from death I was later told, and I got on a plane back to England and had it sorted with a week for free.... which would have cost me tens of thousands in Thailand

Just lol @ anyone who mocks the NHS, they are doing gods work.

I didn't mock the NHS, and I didn't say it doesn't work for the people. But according to researchers it has a lower approval rating in comparison to other universal healthcare plans around the world.I'm glad it saved your life though.

Theyve already laid out their plans to destroy Americas healthcare:

-create a "public option" that is subsidized by the govt
-insurance companies nationwide start to fail because they cannot compete with the super low subsidized prices of the "public option", its not possible
-"public option" becomes socialized medicine by default after all insurance companies fail
-our healthcare system is destroyed just like Canada, the UK etc

If/when this happens, you will see your waits times skyrocket (months-years), your health outcomes plummet, your taxes skyrocket, and depression and mental illness skyrocket in the US. It is an absolute fact.

- post personal experience w/private insurance
- post charts on international healthcare spending

Not sure what is "pie in the sky delusion" here.

Also I didn't explicitly say that "it" was better. There is quite a variance by country and even by location within a country.

Right now the US has the worst of both worlds. We are paying for public care (more than most other countries) and also paying for private care, which based on your own reasoning is a distorted market because of the publicly funded care. Above that the private market is distorted by regulations that allow cartels and in some areas essentially monopolies of health insurance companies.

We could go straight private (pay as you go, no money then you just suffer/die) which should lower prices as supply would be higher than demand. Insurance would/should be minimally regulated IMO with a limited number of offerings that each meet a certain minimum standard that could be offered from any location, purchased from any location, and would provide coverage anywhere in the continental US. IOW health insurance should be taken away from the states and only minimally regulated at the federal level like the banks.

Or we could go to single payer/universal healthcare, not to be confused with "government run healthcare" which implies that the government owns facilities and manages employees, etc.

In the middle perhaps would be a system that banned for profit health insurance, or required for profit health insurance to include a fat life and disability policy so that the health insurer has something to lose if you can't work or you die.

I already pay 200 a month for family coverage. I voted for Trump, but I'm not opposed to a well thought-out universal healthcare plan.
