But it's not 'fine', is it?
I don't know, I'm not American and I never went to the hospital when I was there for all those years.

I imagine it's not good health care at all to be honest.

I am in ill stress of my own right now, and cannot really glean your comments nor prepare a comment. However, I think I can wrap it up by saying it appears that your post says nothing about the issue, of everyone not having health coverage.So why don’t you tell everybody on the forum that you acknowledge that everyone does have health coverage from this great nation. Plea ...[text shortened]... o has a study out that chewing gum has risen a bit in price as well as medical drugs and components.
28 million Americans don't have health insurance and that number will rise significantly if Trump's Medicaid cuts aren't reversed.https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/releases/20260528.html

I think his posts, about this subject, are to show y'all the current system is fine and stop asking for more.

We pay 15 percent tax for everything up here and y'all pay 5 percent.

Do you seriously want to pay triple your tax so fat fried chicken eating slobs can get free health care?
Canada spends 12.7% of their GDP on health care. https://www.cihi.ca/en/national-health-expenditure-trends

The US spends 17.2%. https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/chart-collection/health-spending-u-s-compare-countries/

Yes son in law showed me chat last week, but give average Joe a bit of credit for lasting this long without it. I posted some facts a few days ago…..is that not OK. I am quite sure that often one of us is chided for not listing our sources. It’s hard to win on the forum. Well not for me. 🥴. Me thinks you being disingenuous. You’ve never lifted Info.?
I usually post my source so it is apparent when I do.

We.pay 15 percent tax added to everything and anything.

Everything under the sun gets 15 percent added to the final cost when you buy anything.

That's how we get our so called "basic free health care"

Are you willing to pay that much tax on everything you buy? (Pretend you are only 18 years old and you have to pay that tax for life and you won't need the hospital until you are 65)

Will you gladly pay it?
So that tax is now helping your terminally ill girlfriend, right? You must be glad it exists.

That 15 percent is the sales tax, on everything under the sun. Add that to everything you buy.

For actual tax filing, here is the list.

We pay a lot of tax.

No I'm saying we pay a lot for it.

It was never free and it's currently flooded and people actually die waiting to see a doctor
