    That isn’t out of pocket expenses, healthcare is the largest expenditure in the federal budget so of course the per casita is going to be high for the wealthiest nation in the world.

        We Americans just pay more for worse outcomes basically by any way you want to slice it.

        We have a whole layer of leeches on our system that exist solely to suck us dry. They aren’t there to help us, they’re there only to get in the middle of us and our doctors and extract as much value as possible, even when that means using their untrained reckons or just sheer “fuck you we don’t want to pay for that” to deny treatment of doctor’s who’s literal job it is to prescribe the treatment.

          It’s one of the handful of big problems that have such obvious solutions it blows my mind. A real am-I-going_crazy? topic.

      The only wealthy ones are the insurance companies…

      This thread itself has lot of people putting forth their shitty experience with American healthcare. Insurance denying to cover treatment on vague bullshit, not having coverage if you go to a clinic a block over, etc.
