    This is why an argument for simplicity doesn’t really fly. Agree the US could really use a better government based health system (and yes, there is a sort of option now, but it’s a mess) but saying it’s simpler on a systems level isn’t really true. Most countries indeed have both systems to one degree or another going on at the same time.

      from a CONSUMER perspective it’s FAR simpler

      from a system perspective it’s far more complex

      … but you literally never have to worry about that

      living in australia i’ve thought about health care less than i’ve thought about my own health care in the US and i’ve been there a grand total of 6 weeks in my whole life

      need a hospital? just go… need a doctor? just go… need medication? just get it… don’t think; just do it… the doctors are there to triage; you should not have to without any medical training

      and ON TOP OF THAT: just do it whenever you need and don’t worry…

      we

      still

      pay

      less
