As I read that they charge just 155 bucks in other countries I guess the high price lies in not having a suitable health care system. You can't have both, calling other countries socialists or communists AND having good health care by having the same contracts that we have. Sorry.
Universal Health Care is what Americans should be rioting for. It is THE game changer in QoL and what really separats a first world country from a second world country.
I remember how hard Fox News was pushing it when they could feel it possibly coming. Remember the whole "death panel" nonsense? It was absurd.
They were even saying how the current healthcare system was simpler and direct and better. It was insanity.
Death Panels decide you don’t need treatment!
Ah, much better than the insurance companies doing the same thing. Good thing insurance helps me not only die but also leaves me completely penniless and all my assets given to creditors.
It separates the capitalists from the communists?
