Yeah man this shit sucks. I’ve been under the weather so I haven’t gotten to take a real big dive into the plans but they are ridiculous in costs and you get jack shit in coverage.
what’s worse is “universal healthcare” is even worse - look at canada recommending people just medically suicide instead of doing things.
Some really nasty shit messing with peoples health!
I think there are some places that do universal care where it actually works. We just hear the horror stories because they are more exciting and sensational. I'd like to see a more hybrid approach.
Yeah for sure, I think the challenge becomes really large populations like we have in America. Some of the countries in Europe where they have it, it works well but they have far less people.
We do need hybrid models though! True hybrids, not "the rich get this good one, the poor get this shit one".
Maybe they need to just roll it out at a state level to keep the populations more manageable. I don't know. I just know the cost is going up and it will probably never come back down.
Yeah.. that's the really insidious nature of "inflation". It's the ratchet effect where it only goes one way, UP, and never back down. Famous examples of the cost of movie tickets 40, 50 years ago compared to today are astronomical differences.
I think state level strategies are likely going to be the best and most important way to handle it. I just hope we don't start with states like California, with as many bad policies and challenges as they've already got lol I don't want them to be the model!
