Hello, Canadians of Lemmy! Down in the USA there is a lot of conflicting information regarding the efficacy of y’alls healthcare systems. Without revealing my personal bias, I was hoping for some anecdotes or summaries from those whom actually live there.
Your friend is paying it today in insurance premiums. Same money, just a different line on the paycheck.
And then if he gets sick, he’ll pay again.
Our willingness in America to pay money to a company that is incentivized by profits, just to not pay taxes is astonishing.
We pay 150 a month for insurance . 500 dollar deductible and a max out of pocket of 3500.
I don’t think that’s bad at all. Our incomes are 300-500k a year. So it’s a small part of our wages. In Canada he was at 60k.
