The vast majority of Americans who defend the US health insurance system simply have never experienced the good life in ANY other rich country. If they did, they would not stand for the shitty US system. American politicians get away with lies like "we have the best and most advanced healthcare system in the world" because only immigrants have anything to compare it to, and immigrants don't vote.
The richest country in the world can easily afford public health care. Easily. It's just too profitable for a few big companies and the politicians (mostly Republicans, but basically everyone) are bought off.
A great sarcastic tweet I saw recently:
- The crazy thing is that the US government already spends the same or more per capita as many countries that have a full public health system.yuekit
- That's in addition to all the money that is spent on private health care.yuekit
- Yeah when I tell Canadians what we pay for healthcare in NY they literally can't understand how we fit it into our budget. "How do you afford to live?"nb
- As a foreigner in the US I actually have to say healthcare here IS a lot better. BUT you pay stupendous amounts to have it that way.hardhat
- I’ve lived extensively in New Zealand and the UK. Both of which have great, but far from perfect healthcare systems. US: Can’t afford it? You’re royally fuckedhardhat
- Just don’t be fat lazy fucks. Put down the big gulp and strap on a pair of trainers. Live a healthy lifestyle and the whole system benefits_niko
- I also don’t think it’s about being “healthy” or not. I had to get a colonoscopy and it was SUPER easy in US & I know in NZ it was a bit of a bun-fight to gethardhat
- But like I said, you pay for it one way or another. Point being the healthcare in US IS really good. But only if you can access ithardhat
- Varies from state to state and country to country, of course.nb
- No system is perfect, but to argue that the US is "the best system" is demonstrably false.nb
- Healthcare costs are a huge incentive to be fit & healthy. Chronic lifestyle disease is by far the majority of those costs, and are largely preventable. Do it.********

Trump administration asks Supreme Court to strike down Obamacare
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics…
The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to wipe out Obamacare, arguing that the individual mandate is unconstitutional and that the rest of the law must be struck down with it.
The late-night brief, filed Thursday in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, carries major implications for the presidential election. If the justices agree, it would cost an estimated 20 million Americans their insurance coverage and nullify protections for pre-existing conditions.

- conditions protection gone, no replacement plan at all. I doubt Trump's people even thought it through, it's just conservative ideology on autopilot.yuekit
- But hey go ahead and accelerate full speed off the cliff if that's what you guys want...Biden will use this as a stick to beat Trump and ensure Dem landslide.yuekit

The QAnon bullshit has already spilled beyond the US, covid-19 of course also helped. I keep hearing from friends that their relatives or other friends of them _really_ believe all that stuff, what happened to critical thinking? I used to think people that believe outrageous claims was just the people that tend to lean towards cults or religions, but I keep seeing this lately, it's a bit concerning to be honest.
- Sometimes outrageous things are true.Doris_McSquirter
- Yeah they fear Satan taking over so I’d say they’re religious nutjobs_niko

- I think it’s that people can’t see or comprehend how the algorithms are affecting everything that everyone thinks.nb
