Yes I’m using it a lot right now.

My spouse helped organize a union and I’m under their insurance so that part is correct.

I was gonna say FBI is more of a threat than hackers are this point.

Oh I thought you had universal healthcare. It’s still tied to employment?

Well presumably everyone in Canada has good insurance.

But regardless of whether you pay out of pocket or not someone is still paying the cost when people need expensive medical care. Hopefully yours is more efficient than ours but time, expertise, hospital beds, supplies… these things are not cheap.

So far everything we’ve tried has failed. Let’s just say that.

…it doesn’t?

Interesting. Restructuring makes more sense than an ownership change. Maybe it was a translation issue or something.

No? Everyone should have healthcare. I don’t know where you’re getting that from.

Ownership? Wasn’t Hungary communist at this time? Or did they still have private ownership?

Good god this is exhausting. As an American I truly wish there was some way I could stop this.

I guess good is relative but it’s good for the USA. If my shit had gone down when I had previous insurance I’d probably be bankrupt. The insurance I have now is functioning as intended to protect me from medical risk and provide care at an affordable price.

But I’m not saying it’s better than care plans in other countries because I can’t speak to those.

You are correct. I should have included the normal payments in the total but my spouse pays that so I don’t know what it is.

I’m just saying it’s been working for me. Not endorsing the system as a whole.

It’s my spouse’s insurance from their employer so I’m not certain the cost they pay but the out of pocket max is $1000 annually.

If you read carefully you might even pick up on the fact that I alluded to the unusual nature of my situation and that it’s not common in the US.

You seem to be imagining and attacking a set of views that are not only not in my comment but are contradicted by it. Might be time to touch grass if this is how you’re interacting with people.

So you don’t pay anything at all? Interesting I wasn’t under the impression that actually existed.

Flock cameras you mean? I did not know this.

Hope it passes but somehow I doubt it. Next do facial recognition.

Damn sorry. Hope things turned out OK.

So far they have for me but it’s sort of an ongoing thing still…

That would be nice but is there anywhere on earth that has totally free healthcare? I thought even the gov run ones have some payments involved.

Payments might make sense for some discretionary things, as long as they’re affordable. There are a small number of people who really will just make shit up for attention and even a small cost can help mitigate that. But it has to be affordable for everyone which it obviously isn’t under capitalism.
