Yeah it's not like taxes are astronomically bigger in other countries either. In a lot of sense, they're probably paying less portion of the tax for health related portions than America pays for their insurance. Korea's cost of treatment is also lower without citizenship or insurance than America's typical coinsurance on an insurance a typical middle class family would have.

There's this sense that insurance is somehow saving them a ton of money on the bill, but it's honestly all an illusion. Healthcare is actually really fucking expensive even with a typical insurance in America. We're not a rich family and we would still rather go to Korea. They also have better educated doctors btw lol
And thats something I dont get. In all my time working in healthcare, I havent met someone whos explicitly stated they are happy with their insurance plan. Its just not something you hear people say. You will certainly hear people that are upset, but otherwise most seem to be indifferent at best.

So why is the current system defended as much as it is from certain circles?

Asking "but what about the workers" is the dishonest question. A little bit of research would have given you your answer. This kind of question is the sort of tactic that people who oppose healthcare as a right use. You're playing their role for them when you ask it.

Be more mindful of what you say if you don't want people to think you're Just Asking Questions again. It's exhausting to deal with people who are employing it as an adversarial tactic; we don't need it on our side too.
I dont agree with a single thing youve said. I fully support single payer system. I see zero issue with the question I asked. I was looking for a respectful discussion. Im not afraid to say I dont have 100% of the answers. Thats the last thing I have to say to you regarding the subject.

Look at literally any other first world country. Still plenty of healthcare worker jobs.

Come back with a real and honest question next time.
If you read my previous posts you can see Im very clearly in favor of a single payer system. All Im saying is I dont have all the answers. I dont appreciate the attitude.

Doesnt have to be top notch in every area as long as it can play most games at medium settings. Battery isnt a concern so if the battery is weaker he would be okay with that.

Anyone have suggestions?

And to address one very particular argument I hear again changing healthcare, some say so what? The person never ends up paying that bill.

Even if its true and the person doesnt even pay a penny of a ludicrous health care bill, it still needs to change because the person who gets the bill is usually left completely in the dark, and they have to stress out to no end making phone calls to the hospital, insurance companies, and whatever else is involved. And we all know how awful customer support is for insurance and hospitals.

As I said earlier, what will it take for the people to ask for health care change? How many more stories like this do we have to read about? Or in a similar vein how many more stories do we have to read where an individual or family are financially ruined because of insurance and health care costs?

What needs to happen before well actually demand change from out lawmakers?

No interest in a demo because it was gauged to be unwanted due to little activity in a backroom community place.... that wasnt really advertised nor acknowledged that it would affect the project
That still makes zero sense to me. They had a finished demo. Why not release it? That would be the definitive way to gauge actual interest.

I still cant wrap my head around their logic of cancelling it. They wanted to release a cheap $2 demo with ten missions to gauge interest in the project as a whole. They COMPLETE the demo. Its ready for release. The demo they were going to use to gauge interest. But then they cancel the project due to lack of interest anyway...
