Sorry- sad fact.
Countries like Canada, Singapore, Thailand and many others make a fortune off the mainly American medical refugee- for whom it is cheaper to travel & get 1st class health care elsewhere than to pay insurance and be treated like crap in their own nation.
It’s really sad & sick isn’t it?
Surely this can’t be the America your greatest generation fought for?
45 million without healthcare?
An America for the selfish & super-rich to earn from the sweat and tears of the average hard-working American?
What happened to the shining example of the New Deal America of FDR and Truman?

It isn’tad, it’s reality. You can get good healthcare in other countries than you would pay for insurance and co-pays here in the States!
Government health care in the countries you mentioned is anything but first class. It’s bottom of the barrel, but it is cheaper, I will give you that.
“What happened to the shining example of the New Deal America of FDR and Truman?”
Heh, the New Deal stole land from the poor to construct highways. Why do you think all the neighborhoods near highways tend to be poor? What a shining example.
And with the baby boomers retiring, social security is a major concern. And you want to put healthcare on top of that? Do you know what a budget is, or do you think $ grows on trees?
In Canada there are 86000 people now waiting for medical services. There have been instances of people who have died waiting on live-saving surgery for over a year. Their population is about on tenth of the US’s so if you extrapolate that would mean about 8000000 people waiting. I work as a nurse on a cardiac floor of a local hospital and I know that people are getting life-saving surgeries without insurance.
If you want to pay for my health care, feel free to send me a check. But don’t demand we steal money from someone else to pay for yours.
You are right about Thailand it’s about one tens the cost but most can’t afford it for them self
Fudge FDR. He prolonged the Depression with his New Deal price controls.
