As an American I’m curious what it’s like if you need to go to the doctor and how much you pay from say a broken arm to general checkup. Also list what country please

    Tbf. The american system is fine if you can afford to pay. And you’re always welcome to private care in countries with universal care.

      mostly fine, depending on the insurance you have. some insurance wont cover certain things over others, plus some will require long wait times before insurance kicks in, not good if you have sudden emergenc ysituation, or a very urgent thing like like symptom that wont go away. and out of pocket and deductibles is whole another problem.

      Of course! The ones paying for top medical insurance are being subsidised by all the people that can only afford the more basic care.

      The money has to come from somewhere and it sure as Hell isn’t coming out of the CEOs bonus.
