Re: Not so fast...

people are unlikely to die of arthititis...even in our climate.

So you're into rationing care based on whatever metric you choose. At least you're honest.

If they can get this care without insurance, and you don't have to pay for it, how come 90% do? Like, what's the advantage?

Most people get it through their employer, and insurance here stupidly pays for things like doctor's visits, so it's pretty silly not to.

Yhen maybe you would lik to tell us what actually does happen . in some detail. Taking in the number of Americans who go bankrupt as a result of paying or attempting to pay for medical bills?

Very few on a whole. In the US, it's simple - generally speaking, you're insured in some way, you go to the hospital, you get care. It's pretty simple.
