@psiewert83 insulin costs a few dollars but in the U.S people have died from not being able to afford it. I've seen stories from around the world of people who have some disease where they would have died if not for public healthcare. Or some lifelong thing that wouldn't be possible here. There might be exceptions where only a few countries can perform some expert procedure or cutting edge thing. But the scale is ridiculously tilted towards this having so many more people dead. And if not dead, broke. With no relief inside, life long debt to live.

@markgorman4805 let's be clear that even if what you said was true. The difference is that anyone from low middle class and down just wouldn't get to go to a hospital. And would probably really feel the pain of the financial costs. If they're lucky they'll be able to get it through their job and still be very hurt from the costs.

@Ernesto Pereida I'm sure you know he meant latin american and specifically Hispanic. The bigger question is why would he say that? Like just a simple comment or racist blow whistle? Race scare mongering? Hispanics and latin americans are trying to implement universal healthcare and have been trying, for a long time. And many supported Bernie Sanders. I doubt any would child birth cost to keep people from having kids.

@markgorman4805 It factually isn't. You literally don't have that argument because by ever measure it just isn't. On top of that, insurances vary so wildly you can't even generalize it.

@DarrenG my E.R would have been so much more. I refused to use it.

That's a shame buddy. But you at least have a base to build on and repair. we have less than that for most.
