    • Is the USA even a 1st world country?Chimp
    • It masquerades as onePhanLo
    • USA is big enough that some parts aren't really that different from Canada, others more like Canada meets Saudi Arabiayuekit
    • US vs. Romaniagrafician
    • Even the richest parts don’t have universal healthcare.Chimp
    • For people below a certain income and 65+ they are covered by government programs and there is the ACA which gives subsidies to cover insurance.yuekit
    • But yeah it's definitely not universal and nothing like in the UK where it's all government run. Also insanely expensive.yuekit
    • A huge chunk of Americans have quality healthcare subsidized by their employers along with stable jobs.monospaced
    • aka, most of the middle and upper classmonospaced
    • That is not fine. It puts you at the mercy of your employer. This is why you're so fucked when you lose a job or you do anything to keep one.grafician
    • < We have all these in Europe solved, so why tf can't America just borrow all the solutions?grafician

    • 2nd lowest vax uptake in Europe also.fadein11
    • Ah yes whataboutism again. It's literally about rights you idiots! Not the quality of a specific system. We have it, the US don't.grafician
    • "borrow all the solutions"
      "we have all these in Europe solved"
      Of course this is a rights issue you muppet.      fadein11
    • trolling this thread is a low point even for you.fadein11
    • trolling!?! everybody around here is seriously concerned you idiot

      also for the fucking UK, you guys seem drunk too      grafician
    • "So you're glad about it?
      Wow.
      grafician"
      "US v Romania"
      You're an antagonising prick. Fuck off.      fadein11
    • You missed my point. I'm trying to say that a huge chunk of Americans have great healthcare through a provider/employer and therefore don't think about it muchmonospaced
    • A lot of people view universal healthcare like the free lunch program. They just don't think they qualify and they know it isn't high quality.monospaced
    • Don't confuse this with an argument against UHC, it's not. It's an assessment of the situation where many Americans aren't making this a big issue.monospaced
