It’s free at point of sale. You don’t go bankrupt when you get sick. And if you need a heart transplant, you pay the same amount as if you didn’t need the doctor. It’s not based on how much medicine you receive.
But it ends up cheaper for everyone, except the hypotetical person who was never sick his entire life and also never paid for insurance his entire life.
So how is healthcare free?
You’re not being serious, right?
I have a yearly income of about $120,000 (after about 4 years experience).
So $9900 a month in income, of that I pay $3600 to taxes. Out of the 3600,
$60$580 goes to healthcare each month.If you make $120.00 a year how do you afford $43,200.00 in taxes?
Am I missing a 0 somewhere or do you?
I earn $120,000 a year
There’s a hundred cents to the dollar so I don’t understand why you’re using three decimal places of precision.
Oh I am sorry! I mixed the Danish and US number formatting. 120,000!
Oh that makes more sense now so you pay the doctor 60,000 a month?
$720 per year
And that’s a well paying job?
Streamlined industry, no bloated insurance midde-man and socialism.
Who pays the doctors?
The people
But that means it’s not free.
They’re as free as the roads you drive on. Taxes are used to pay for it so everybody can use it.
I don’t want to drive on doctors.
