Last I checked (which was admittedly ages ago so the numbers are hopefully different) the government itself spends 2x more (comparing %GDP not $ amount) than countries with national healthcare. So we pay the government more money for less healthcare.
The USA spends more money on healthcare than countries with socialised healthcare, apparently. The cruelty is intentional.
Oh, but we pay it to private companies instead of the government, so it’s better… somehow.
I hate discourse in this country.

No, the USA government spends a trillion USD on healthcare. For reference, the UK government spends just over 300billion USD.
Yes, and who does the government spend that money to? That’s right, private companies that control the means of healthcare access.
Exactly. USAians are basically paying twice.
