I’m at a party where everyone is discussing the costs of their healthcare plans and I just...
...how can Americans pay this much to receive so little yet still think socialized healthcare is a bad idea?
I can’t even.

My grad school roommate did public healthcare. It’s not my specialization, but our hall mapped out cost vs coverage vs country for 9 months so I’m not clueless.
I’m... not saying a lot of things about how Americans pay more to receive less vs literally anyone else on the planet.

Canadians: Did you know in America they literally advertise health care plans on TV alongside diapers and soft drinks? Life, death, toilet paper, tax software, medication, orange juice.
It’s never not going to be unsettling for me to treat healthcare as a commodity.

For contrast:
I pay $0 to $75/month for healthcare & when I’m broke I register for cheap af medication.
If I miss payments (grad school/freelance life, yo), I get a scolding letter, and... uh, nothing else? No late fees, no interest charges, no gap in coverage if I fail to pay.
