America is hell

    doctors only have 10 minutes in America, too. They need to see as many patients as possible and make as much money as possible for the practice. The difference is that in American that 10 minutes costs you 12-20 hours worth of work to pay for.

      From what I’ve heard, US doctors don’t see that much out of that money either, but here at least they take it out of our taxes… which, somewhat interestingly, are at about the same rate as in the US.

        The u.s. government spends more on healthcare per Capita than any other country as well. They give money to private insurance to cover people on public assistance such as the elderly and veterans. They don’t pay directly, so there’s a ton of administrative bloat.

        If we could just cull the insurance companies we could harvest their organs and solve a lot of problems.
