Oddbean new post about login | logout Having lived much of the last year in a country that has universal healthcare, it's heartbreaking to be back in the U.S. seeing families having to appeal to strangers online through gofundme sites bc they cannot afford outrageous medical bills while dealing with unimaginable tragedy.
@b5cdaf1a You really think those fundme sites are legit? It's just another way those w/ less have learned how to scam those w/ more. Sure, healthcare can be a joke in the USA. But w/ experience comes the knowledge that some folks just don't deserve to be first in line for treatment when there's others actually trying to better their lives. Big pharm messed this up for lots of worthwhile people. A regular person w/ normal issues shouldn't have to wait for services b/c the junky ran out of meds.
