i always hear people compare american healthcare to "comparable oecd countries" but it's the same here in turkey, too. it's bizzare that americans think healthcare is a commodity. you get sick, you go to a hospital and get your medicine. you have an emergency, you call an ambulance and get your surgery. and most of it all, you pay (almost) nothing, that's the contract between the ruling class and the workers.

my nephew is diabetic and when i asked my uncle how much they paid for insulin (i thought they had to pay for at least something) he was like "pay for what?".
