FOOD AND GAS PRICES ARE OFF THE ROOF. WELCOME TO BIDEN AMERICA
I THINK INSURANCE IS MANAGED BY SATAN AND MY MEDICAL BILLS WILL BANKRUPT ME SOON
but I don’t want to change anything about this. I think it’s the most superior system and nothing else should be even remotely reformed.
Clown ass country rightfully complains about how everything is expensive and miserable and exploitative but demands that nothing gets changed otherwise companies will retaliate by rising prices artificially anyway
I usually hear people claim that US military spending in the EU, Japan etc. allows those countries to focus their economy on healthcare and education, since the US is eating their military costs and "protecting" them.
This is the first I've heard a claim that the US directly subsidizes other countries' healthcare.
The argument they're probably referring to is the idea that the US spends money to make the drugs and innovate while other countries just make them. Because US companies eat the cost of innovation, the prices in the US are higher.
Of course its all bullshit because a significant portion of new drugs are funded by the US government and then privatized for no real reason.
