  2.  @oleonard7319  "Other countries have socialized healthcare that works much better than ours". False. If that was true, people from those countries wouldn't travel to the US to receive treatment and they do all the time. The US provides the overwhelming majority of the world's medical research which is paid for by the costs. Those types of healthcare systems are fine if you're relatively healthy, but they're terrible for those with rare diseases and sicknesses. 500,000 die under those systems a year waiting on heart surgery alone. They only purchase medicines to treat the most common conditions, so if have a rare one that requires special medications they won't be available to you. An example is adrenal insufficiency. It's rare. While the steroids to treat it are available as they're common medications used for the treatment of many things including infections that's available. However an emergency injection kit is also required to prevent what's called a crisis that occurs when the body gets stressed and requires a large dose to prevent a coma and organ failure. They are not available in those countries because it's not cost effective for the government to purchase them for such a small number of people. They won't get a big discount because there's no need for a large purchase so they simply don't purchase them. I have no problem getting one in the US. I have experienced Canadian and US healthcare as I've given birth in both countries. I used a government hospital in Canada. Both were high risk pregnancies. I recieved far superior care in the US than in Canada and my care in the US was free because I was on Medicaid.
