What is the problem with Americans and public healthcare? Even if you have access to healthcare at any hospital, how will you live a fulfilling life if you can barely afford it?
I know some of your arguements are with waiting lines even though waiting will always exist and perhaps even progress in new technology, but hospitals in other developed countries are just as developed as those in the US.

no one wants to pay for niggers and illegal spics who hate us. why the fuck should we want to pay for them? good health coverage isn't even expensive in the usa

Preach. I cant even handle thinking about my cursed nation.

>>127966028
I used to be able to get excellent coverage for about $300 a month, a top tier plan.

Obamacare fucked that up, and there is no way you can convince me I could receive the same quality care from the government while they would only deduct $300 or less from my paycheck every month.

It seems inferior in every way.

Hell, I get insurance free from my job anyway because I am a productive member of society so I couldn't really give a shit.
>>
>>127966186
Then only allow it for the nations residents. In my country if you're a foreigner you actually have to pay for some treatments.
Also, don't you want to help your fellow countrymen in their time of need?
>>127966418
From what I know of Obamacare, it's that you were forced to have coverage.
>>
>>127966028
Public healthcare is shit tier. You'll be grouped up with all the leeches who never contributed anything - and because there's a limit to much how they can charge you before you simply become incapable of paying it, they instead have to lower the quality of healthcare to ensure that there's enough money for the leeches, too.

>injured my shoulder
>doc thinks there might be a torn tendon, tells me I should get an MRI
>call the specialist and tell him what the doc suspects
>"yeah, we could give you an appointment in 9 weeks"
>tell them I have a private insurance
>"Oh, in that case you can come tomorrow"

It's a bit more expensive but in exchange I actually get treatment when I need it rather than just when I'd die in their waiting room otherwise.
>>
>>127966598
It drove the costs for young people up to sometimes over $2,000 per month in order to finance the ultrapoor niggers who couldn't afford it because they don't just get a job that has benefits.

It was a total disaster.
I recognize that the pre-existing condition was an issue for some people, but that was really one of the only flaws in the system. There isn't any timeline in which government deducts only $300 or less from my paycheck for universal healthcare. It is anything but 'free'.

the main reason I don't want it is because of all the people who live in other countries bitch and complain about how backwards we are while being completely and utterly dependent on the US as the preeminent military power on the planet.

I seriously hate all of you fucking faggots who fucking reeeeee out about the US not having "free" healthcare.
>>
Yes. It's dysgenic as fuck. Why don't we just give free vet care to sewer rats while we're at it, OP? Does that sound like a good idea? Because that's essentially what your retarded free healthcare idea would be.
>>
>>127966028
Yes, at least in the ex commie states, here If I want to go to the hospital, I can It cost me around $ 1.00 (One US Dollar). And I have the same right to be in the hospital as anyone else, if the case is an emergency it is free 0.00 cost.

That seems great, but on paper, there is many restrictions and laws that prohibit me from a good service and if I want one I either have to break the law (and bribe doctors most of the time) or I have to go to private hospital that cost almost as the bribe I am giving. Meanwhile the doctors at the Private hospital are the same doctors working in the public one... so either the service is as good as in the public or they intentionally don't want to help you, so you can go to their own hospital and spend money.


And this happens because it is state owned and everyone is "the same"... capitalism is way better then this neocommy shit.

That's only the students and lower class, i.e. the people who don't pay shit into it.
If you don't contribute it's no surprise that you don't mind the shit tier quality.

But when I pay 300+€ per month I expect to actually get an appointment in time when I have a pressing issue rather than being told to wait for so long that it will either have fixed itself or have become unfixable by that time.

Also I guess a couple people fell for the "private health insurance is way too expensive!" meme. Unless you go full retard on the shit you want to have covered, it is not all that more expensive. They are even obligated by law to offer an insurance that has comparable services to the public insurance.
All you need to do is get one before you have a bazillion different pre-existing conditions.

Yesterday I was listening to the radio while driving home and they talked about that "new" system for public construction that some university here is trying out.

It's identical to the old system only that the lowest bidder is actually legally obligated to finish the project for the amount they named.
Really made me wonder if they are fucking shit up on purpose.

>>127967579
Everyone does, but then again, everyone benefits. I have a condition that requires medication that is fuck expensive but I can get it for free here.

>>127966307

Suck my dick faggot. The Canadian system is close to perfect if you don't live in Quebec or Onterrible (which you really shouldn't anyway because both are restrictive, collectivist, paternalistic shitholes).

>free healthcare for the plebs and people going through the hard times who can't pay with the tradeoff being that they have to wait (and/or die)
>those who can afford it get access to private clinics where they can get prompt service and referrals
Cry me a river poorfag and enjoy fantasizing about privatized healthcare while you wait 30 days to get dialysis in the Gatineau hospital you diabetic wankstain.

>>127966028
>What is the problem with Americans and public healthcare?
People tend to do really stupid shit when they're aware they have free healthcare.

Giving poor people free healthcare is a noble idea but when 3pik youtuber johny420blazeit is spinning fidget spinners at 5000 rpm between his fingers and encouraging impressionable little children to do the same, its hard to accept the fact that you're being forced to pay for their shit when something fucks up
>>

If you only focus on the negatives then yeah any idea would seem bad, but what about police officers, sewer cleaners, labourers who are working low income jobs?
>>
>>127967929
>everyone benefits

False. Only those who require treatments more expensive than their contributions do.
And the more leeches you have in the system, the less people who actually pay into the system benefit from it.

Most people overpaying is one of the basic principles insurances are built upon, but they keep shifting the cost/benefit ratio too much. With the inevitable increases in healthcare insurance fees after our election this year for example we are approaching the point where you'd either need a chronic disease or get cancer to make it even remotely worth it.
>>
>>127967274
>I think it's different for my country but government services are usually very efficient here
our countries circumstances are very different
>>
>>127968663
These leeches will always exist, but it's not like people are going to straight away start breaking their legs just to get free healthcare unless they're mad.
>>
>>127968926
Either your country is very different from mine or you have been lucky so far.
We have tons of people who go to the doc for even the tiniest shit, simply because it's free and they are bored. It wastes insane amounts of money.

And on top of that you have all the people who don't give a shit about fixing their lifestyle because the pills that take care of that for them are "free" (as in, paid for by someone else).

Go to an endocrinologist. It is nothing but fat people munching pills to get their hormonal levels back into a normal range because they can't be arsed to just not consume unhealthy amount of foods. I know diabetic people who could control their sugar levels by just paying attention to their diet a bit, but don't give a shit because the medication can also do that and it costs them nothing.

I'm still not sure about this lifestyle shit. I've heard of those fat obese people who seem to celebrate getting so fat that they get obesity bucks in the US. But besides them, who would want to live a lifestyle where they have to constantly rely on healthcare?

>>127967996
>The Canadian system is close to perfect if you don't live in Quebec or Onterrible

Okay this cant be serious. I work in healthcare, I have for the past 5 years. I work in one of the major hospitals in the province of British Columbia, I can tell you for certain it is far from perfect.

Old people are sent to death wards because healthcare is rationed, if you are old and sick you are left to die, even when treatments are available you are put on 1+ year waiting lists which by that time you will be far dead.

Cancers are not caught fast enough here, well the truth is most cancers are never caught fast enough, but the system is so overburdened a lot of scans aren't even thoroughly looked at. It's not uncommon for somebody to come in to diagnostic imaging, get the clear, then come back and find out we were wrong because we never thouroughly went through it but it's too late now and they are going to die.

Or the fact to get even the most basic of surgeries you are stuck waiting for months on end, or the youth dying in hospital beds of curable diseases but because they cant recieve treatment fast enough they die.

Rationed healthcare is a real thing here. The system is also heavily overburdened, most hospitals are operating at 120-160%. Last year we had to line beds up all throughout the hospital ER because we didn't have enough main beds for people. Don't even get me started on psych, psych is so overburdened that most people who come to the hospital and complain about suicide are just sent back off to the streets. If you are a psych patient have fun waiting in the ER in the middle of a hallway for weeks on end or in a psych room in the ER waiting for a transfer to the psych units, which are so overburdened that the psych nurses themselves cant even keep up.

The Canadian healthcare system is fucked, you cant even get bloodwork here done without a request from a doctor, let alone any sort of scan.
>>
>>127969756
>But besides them, who would want to live a lifestyle where they have to constantly rely on healthcare?

We don't really culturally shame people for being absolute failures anymore, so a lot of them don't give a shit. They don't see this as any different than going to the post to pick up some packages or going to the store to buy some groceries.

Never make the mistake of letting failure become acceptable, Malaysia.
>>
>>127969822
To add to this most people do not have family doctors here because of shortages, a lot of the doctors we do have are from third world countries too. Not all of them are bad, but a lot of them are not top tier doctors and it's tough to build a relationship with them.

If you do not have a family doctor you can be put on a list where waiting periods exceed 5 years. You are stuck relying on walk in clinics where you have to line up hours before opening just to get in late in the day if you are lucky, and your appointments have to be brief because of the wait list for other patients. If you get a perscription and have basic coverage (nothing from your employer) medication can be very expensive - also in some provinces (BC for example) you have to pay MSRP forced by the government up to 60$ a month just to afford this said healthcare.

In the end it basically comes down to rationed healthcare, overburdened and undertrained doctors, people dying of curable diseases, the old left to rot in glorified death wards with nurses that try to get them in and out to the morgue as fast as possible, a poorly ran psych system and a shit ton of other problems.

Yes the Canadian healthcare system can work for you in some cases, and there are some benefits, but it is so far from perfect. At least in the U.S if you can afford healthcare you are given good healthcare. Here in Canada it's basically a third world system in a first world country.

Basically

>Oh I feel sick I need to see a doctor
>Two options, book appointment with family doctor if I am lucky to have one and wait 1-2 weeks to get in, or line up at a walk in clinic in hopes of getting in hours before opening, or go to the ER and hope I am able to see a doctor within a 6 hour period
>get in to finally see a doctor who sends me to diagnostic imaging
>cant get in with imaging because they are backed up, going to be a week or so
>get my scan done, I am now feeling even worse
>they tell me they will call me and let me know when they know
>I get a call close to a week later telling me I need to come in right away, but that I need to book an appointment
>soonest appointment I can get is in a couple weeks
>I can now barely function properly so I either go to the ER again and wait and hope to be taken seriously or wait out for my appointment
>I choose to go to the ER and wait it out
>they test my vitals and confirm with me I am very sick and get me a bed in the middle of a shitty hallway next to a bunch of other people
>I spend days here waiting on tests
>a doctor comes in and tells me the bad news, I got cancer and it has recently spread throughout my body I did not catch it soon enough
>If I had waited for my appointment I would have been dead by now, I am told I am going to die soon but they will make the proccess as comfortable as possible
>I get sent to a glorified death ward where a bunch of other people are dying and nurses are short with me
>days go by and I'm slowly losing myself, the entire ward smells like shit and people around me are groaning all day in pain
>I finally pass out from the pain and drugs and never wake up
>I get taken down to the morgue where my body is thrown around into a freezer until a funeral home comes and picks me up
>they eventually take me from the morgue and go bury me

I have lived in the US, UK, Germany, Switzerland and Austria and the UK's NHS is by a large margin the worst, bureaucratic nightmare I encountered. Truly a sick system. You feel like in a 1970s style socialist commie gulag if you have to deal with the NHS.

The US was, interestingly enough, the second most bureaucratic shithole.

Best systems were the nationalistic Austrian and the privatized Swiss systems.
