Be american

>be american
>bump your head
>go bankrupt

u gonna get shot kiddo

when did US healthcare go wrong?
no wonder all the asians want to become a doctor
they want as much cash as possible

because you either have to go full socialist like europe or full capitalist like nigeria where they will let you die if you cant pay. we have a horrible mix between the to which incentivizes companies to figure out how to rape the medicare system the hardest

hospitals in america are "not for profit" and pay no taxes

health care is not a human right
pay up bucko

Why is Americans such c*mmies? Here you have no profit cap on neither healthcare nor education.

this is what happens when you try to do socialist/capitalist hybrids

>Nigerian healthcare
Care to elaborate?

>be amerishot
>make sure to tip 22% on the $3934 bill.

if you are in a severe accident the ambulance driver will check your wallet for insurance. if he cant find anything he will drive away. while cruel this keeps costs for the system as a whole way own

$1000+ for a one CT scan? How and why?!

Haha

because freedom

Doctors in Canada often make more. Where American doctors make a lot is on some firms of specialist or cosmetic surgeons

Why do americans suck the libertarian dick?

>Go to hospital in Canada
>Wait countless hours to see a doctor, get any tests done or get referal to follow up with a specialist
>LITERALLY come in at 3am, leave around 2pm the next day

>At my hospital you're forced to sit in a room with a bunch of other sick patients who vary in illness from vomiting to just having a mental breakdown or something
>This is considered good healthcare
>Out of all countries with socialised medicine we rank the lowest or close to last place every time

Even in Russia, where prices can be really unfair it costs around $50-60.

Land of the free

>do malpractice
>get sued for millions
>push up the prices to pay for the lawsuits
the price of freedom

That's a statement, how much did insurance cover?

This is the first time I have ever seen an American complain about our healthcare system, normally it's people that don't understand how it works

>tfw paid for 2 ct scans $250 3 years ago
So it's basically $60 for one procedure now

i've had countless surgeries, scans, xrays, the works
never had to pay a penny, viva la NHS

malpractice is a meme pushed by doctors and hospitals to justify them raping the system. in reality they have excellent legal representation and malpractice is a minor cost

>full capitalist like nigeria where they will let you die if you cant pay.
>tfw we have this here but only in muslim hospitals
fuck this country
fuck islam
if anything ever happens to you go to a christian hospital

Our life expectancy is years longer than that of America, we can afford to wait. Also, what shithole are you in? We don't have this here at all

I live in Newmarket Ontario.

meanwhile your dumbass cant read a bill. there is a credit for $400

And yeah I can afford to wait cus I haven't had cancer or some horrifying disease yet, it only wastes my time but it's pretty scary how inefficient it all is.

Muslims really are subhuman. The Kataebs should have won the civil war desu.

Nooooo if you are patrician your health insurance pays for it.

Freedom aint free

>going bankrupt over a $4000 bill
???

I think it was FDR or someone who did a wage freeze to keep the prices on war material down and the employers started offering medical benefits to attract people to work in their factories. There was a bunch of other shit with the Great Society programs and them fucking with the FDA that kept screwing up our prices

it also doesn't help that we subsidize virtually all medical development in the west

can't you make appointments through the internet? even I can and this is a latinamerican shithole

No... only seen a few clinics that allow that

It's a shame, makes the whole thing easier, receptionists at the hospital have to do a lot less work, lines are shorter and all that just for maintaining a website. It's a win win for both patient and hospital management

The wait times here can be bad, but triage exists, as do family physicians. There is no reason you should be spending several hours in a room waiting with everything from people who are vomiting to people with a panic attack. Unless it's a serious emergency, for which you will be seen quickly, you really should just avoid outpatients and see your family doctor.
As for cancer survival rates we are:
>Breast
We are third behind France and USA (a fraction of a percentage)
> Colon
We are admittedly behind at 5th, USA has a 64.7% survival rate, ours is 62.8%
>Lung
We are 3rd behind Japan and USA (Japan is a statistical outlier at >30% with every other country being Prostate
We are 2nd behind USA
>Leukemia
We are 2nd behind Germany

Remember that compared to the USA, who is the most similar to us, we pay far less for lower maternal and infant mortality rates, longer life expectancies, lower rates of diseases both chronic and acute, longer quality of life, more affordable medications, and less medical malpractice.

>lower maternal and infant mortality rates
it's only really an issue in the South because some of our hospitals are just that awful

I think they had a MRSA outbreak at one near me because the people there didn't properly sterilize their equipment

>the people there didn't properly sterilize their equipment

>USA
>First world

>at least I don't live in Cali
save me from this hell Frogbud

My family doctor is garbage, takes longer to see than just going to ER(always fashionably 2+ hrs late for appointment, have to basically cancel entire workday/any plans). For bloodwork and such I go to walkin clinic though.

The cancer survival rates I believe but the few articles I've seen mentioning our rankings it seems we come in last most of the time.

Also seems like we get screwed on surgeries considered elective but significantly impact quality of life. Feels like the only real hope is getting rich enough to just be able to fly to US/Mexico for healthcare and get it done in a day

The south has a lot but but even your best state, Massachusetts is higher than the OECD average, and lots of northern states are above the national average.
Also, why do Americans always do this?
>"if you take out the parts of our country that are bad and don't count people who do bad things America is great!"

too bad, kiddo

because I live in the South and I know the rest of the country isn't nearly as fucked. A lot of the things you like to shit on don't affect most of the country

We can all do that though. Canada's intentional homicide rate is 1.68, well below America's 4.88 but higher than similar countries in Europe or Australia. But, if you remove our territories and just count provinces, it's 0.59, making it slightly safer than the Netherlands.

>be non american
>Most of your healthcare goes to fat cunts and smokers or other preventable illnesses and slows down the whole systen for people who need it

Fuck i hate fatties and smokers should just be killed

>500,000 Indians kill that many people
what the fuck did you do to them lel

>be American
>most of your medical costs go to paying for the 2 million strong legion of insurance agents, bureaucrats, and malpractice lawyers
shits fucked lmao

Don't we all user don't we all.

This is why liquor, tobacco, and in some places processed foods are taxed so high. So that those who burden the system the most pay the most for it.

Inuits and first nations people have ridiculous crime and suicide rates. To give you an idea of how bad it is, according to one report, a first nations man in Canada is 3 times more likely to have a criminal record than a black person in the USA.

Wow what the fuck. I had sympathy because we did genocide them and take their land but are these people even human

haha aa

>genocide them and take their land

We aren't America, we treated our natives a lot better. The worst we did was residential schools and semi-forcing a destructive market economy on them. You can't really blame poverty either, Maritimers are dirt poor but that's the safest place on earth statistically.

Interesting point I guess they really are just bad people

They certainly don't handle their alcohol very well, which is admittedly genetic, but also has a lot to do with culture.

you must be lying. there's no way a government could would allow that
