Healthcare still cheaper than moving to another country with Healthcare tbf
No, US healthcare is many times more expensive than healthcare in developed countries with universal healthcare.
You are being bled dry by the insurance industry while still parrotting their propaganda in favour of them.
Insurance companies are optimized for keeping you sick until medicare. Then you are Medicare's problem and they never paid out. Pure profit at the low cost of health and suffering of millions.
You all need to work on reading comp, it'd be clear to any who are fluent in English that I was discussing the moving costs and emigration costs being higher than health insurance costs here.
I don't think moving to another country costs over $1,000,000 https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/21/upshot/covid-bills-financial-long-haulers.html
Most insurance doesn't cost that much here I'm not sure that source is extremely applicable to 99 percent of Americans.
And 99% of Americans aren't moving. But the few that are moving, are doing so because they don't wanna be in that 1%
Should tell you something that everyone wants to move into the US but no one wants to move out. That fact is backed up the Rae numbers.
Maybe, it's not SO bad
I can give you personal examples that contradict both your arguments. Also, I don't know what Rae numbers are but the fact that Americans are moving to Europe is provided in this article : https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/02/travel/travel-news-us-families-relocate-europe/index.html
Yeah Americans occasionally do decide to leave but to pretend more leave than come in is straight up delusional
I don't think I ever claimed that. In fact, I don't think anyone in this thread claimed that.
And you need to work on your math comprehension. It would be clear to any who can understand basic arithmetic that lifetime healthcare costs in the US are far and away higher than emigration costs.
Source?
man wait until you find out about flying into another country to do some medical operations or tests or whatever, and then flying back, just because it's fucking cheaper that way.
This is genuinely a really common occurrence.
I've done this! Was not really the point of the trip but decided to give it a try.
Specifically, went to Taiwan and paid for the fanciest and most comprehensive health panel i could. I cannot compare the price to the US because nowhere in the US offers an equivalent service.
Ezra.com is close but: 1. Much worse quality. 2. Only offers 1/8 of the tests i got. 3. Considering only the comparable tests the cost is 3.5x more.
Like, i cannot describe to American doctors the experience because it's like a fantasy tale. I couldn't of possibly had that experience in their minds. They are so deep in the american shitcare the story i describe must be false. The damage to the psyche when you realize you are working your ass off for less pay to deliver a worse product is too much.
The denial of many Americans is too much. They'd rather die painfully, and at great cost, than admit capitalism cannot solve healthcare.
It's only cheaper that way if you don't work full time.
You choose the quality of your insurance here. For the most part. It's complicated and bad, for sure, but the problems with it are grossly over exaggerated
it can be cheaper that way for a lot of reasons, you might not be in network, your insurance might not want to cover it, there might be a million other factors, often times it's just easier, and cheaper to go somewhere else, do that shit, pay out of pocket, go home, feel better, and then start working again.
Generally people aren't too keen on working when trying to figure out if they have cancer or something, for example.
Generally when someone claims that insurance just chooses not to cover stuff that's a good sign they don't anyhting about insurance here.
i don't think you understand insurance.
