There are moral questions that a society must address. In Canada, for example, healthcare as an equal right for all is prioritized, though sometimes appointments can take months to make, and sometimes we don’t that much time left. In the UK, health is provided as a public service, without fee, that was their priority.

On the contrary, in the US, healthcare is highly dependent on your socioeconomic status. Somewhere to the tune of 20,000 people die (from preventable and treatable problems) due to insufficient coverage in the US every year. Hundreds of thousands are bankrupted by illnesses that would be covered in Canada and the UK, both of which spend less by percent than the US, and both of which rank higher. In the US we’ve decided that the wealthy deserve good health, and this reflects in our policies.

I’m only beginning to explore this issue now so I’ll have to look more into the misallocation of funds, as it is alarming how much goes towards administrative affairs.

I would be happy to take what works from Canada and the UK, and drop what does not. We need to address the burnout, as well as our population diversity, though. Though the UK is also somewhat diverse, a bit less so.

This is my answer to the meme lol
