Government guarantees guarantee nothing.

But not at my expense.

Pay for your own stuff.

The U.S. system didn't fare the worst, but I do like that this article describes the pros and cons of each one in a way that I have never seen before, as well as also discusses the cost benefit ratio to what it delivers.

The U.S. system was definitely superior to the others for innovation and outcomes of serious diseases, which most people want. However, as I said earlier, it falls short with access to care and affordability to the general population.

I can’t read their articles since they went to pay to read.

Oh, interesting. I don't subscribe to them and just found the article on a regular search. It never asked me to pay. I hate when that happens, but I can't explain it.

So you support socialized medicine then? You know, the kind of system that gives access to every citizen no matter their income level?

Yeah, didn't think so. So yeah, you are perfectly fine with millions of Americans going without any healthcare whatsoever.

I'd like that very much, US is a good place to live if you have a serious illness but if you get tons of colds and flus and stuff like that you're f-ed. A regular checkup costs $50 for me even with excellent insurance, can't imagine how bad it must be for someone without it
