I have a completely unrelated question but is the US the only developed country where without health insurance you get no medical care at all?
We can get medical care without insurance, but it's rock bottom. People go to the ER when their kid is mildly ill because the ER has to see them.
We're about to lose our Obamacare insurance because the Republicans fucked us over. I get one doctor appointment next week, won't get any follow up care.
BTW, I'm unemployed but my wife works for the largest credit union on the planet, a "great job" people say around here. She gets no insurance, PTO, nada. Been there over a year, excelling on every metric, still not a "full" employee.
No, you just get a bill that some European governments couldn't afford.
Same in Iran.
They just went before the USA in the list.
(/Jk, they might even have some sort of free "healthcare" in Iran).
The healthcare is getting stoned, isn't it?
