The US Ranks Last in Health Care System Performance
Research shows policy reforms may be needed to close the performance gap

crazy thought huh?

Those that can afford it. Lmao this whole conversation started about affordability. No ■■■■ people who can afford luxury services pay for it. And STILL these other countries are happier and healthier.

Why do you keep bringing up AOC? Lol you guys really are obsessed

Youve been bouncing around from talking point to talking point and dont even remember how this conversation started

Yes. Living happier and more healthy.
Missed the telling take away huh? Wages paid to poor people in Seattle decreased.
estimates conclude the total amount paid to low wage workers in Seattle declined by 6-7 percent (Jardim et al., 2018)
I wish everyone on this forum would pore over the UW Evans School’s reports like you are doing. Please don’t stop reading the minute you have found a sentence fragment that you think helps you win a debate. Stick with it.
ImRightYoureWrong:Why do you guys look at economics in such oversimplified ways? If a business isnt profirable then tough on them too. But guess what? We’ve had minimum wage laws for a VERY long time - yet, businesses still exist. Arent ya’ll bragging about the Trump economy? Yes, we all understand. Business exists to make profit. Workers exist to make a wage or salary. They use revenue to pay for operating costs. Workers use wages to pay for living costs. Can we have a real conversation here? What should the minimum wage be and/or should it exist.
If you’re still addressing minimum wage after all of these years, then obviously you can logically conclude…it didn’t solve what ever problem was being addressed by government. It’s just kicking the can down the road, year after year. Maybe now it should be removed and allow the free market to determine the balance necessary for the best interests of all. Then…lower taxes to everyone by the amount spent in government to monitor and implement these ridiculous programs? Is that real enough?
Yes, nothing like removing protections for some of the least powerful people in our society.
carpe_diem:
hiking minimum wage to 15 dollars in hour will be great to inflate the cost of living in general. Or do Democrats actually believe that minimum wage will go up,
and the cost of living such as food and rent will actually cost the same?Oh my gosh, you do! That’s so cute! lol.
But you have no problem with the cost of living going up but not wages.
Umm, no? Where did I ever say that?
The Democrat Politicians intentionally make the cost of living go up, so they
can justify to the American people making minimum wage 15 dollars an hour.
It’s Part of their Socialist Agenda.
Unfortunately, I think the Republicans are either to stupid, or ignorant to stop
them. Maybe they don’t realize strategic wise what is going on? I’m not sure. lol.
7ranz:You think I haven’t had the displeasure of paying for an ambulance and the emergency room costs that follow before?
Yeah, sure they’ll accept you. Just be ready to be in perceptual debt to Anthem.
When we consider the percent spent on healthcare in other countries, it highlights that our costs are out of control. I read where a mistake was made and a 65 year old man had his prostate removed and he was awarded 15 million. It’s stated that there was some nerve damage that has made him incontinent and impotent. I find the award to be ridiculous and a clear example of one of the many reasons our healthcare is so expensive.
Malpractice insurance is a very small cost of healthcare. You didn’t know that?

Do you do business with Amazon?

That is a small portion of how what I referred to affects the cost of healthcare. Did you know that many additional tests are ordered that will not benefit the patient…but will protect a doctor’s butt in a court of law. Again though…this is just a tad more of how our legal system is costing healthcare.

I can imagine the joy those earning minimum wage have knowing you are in their corner fighting to reduce the minimum wage.

Point taken. Need to reconsider how healthcare is run. Overseas is clearly better. Half the price or less, similar outcomes for treatment.

Nice answer. Do you shop at Amazon? I do not. I pay more and intentionally do so, knowing I’m energizing the community in which I live. Those employees make more, on my dime and it’s my pleasure to put my money where my mouth is. There’s a lot to what I said, although I do understand that many apply one dimensional thinking.

Now consider how much litigation goes on percent wise of the whole in those countries?
As long as democrats insist on flooding the country with impoverished low skilled workers he would, sure.

That’s nice. You should tell them how much you are supporting the lowest income employees by tirelessly arguing to reduce their wages.

You misrepresent what I stated. I said government stay the ■■■■ out of it and “we” will be better off. You see, it’s obvious to me that you would not do business with entities that don’t pay their employees ■■■■■ that’s why you never supported Walmart or Amazon…correct? That said, those businesses must choose to either go bankrupt or fix the problem. You see how that works. Those with the money vote for who they want to do their business with and it’s a very powerful tool…if you use it wisely. Do you?
