I’m sure that is true, but are they the only truly comparable system? Maybe Scandinavia? Japan. The UK sounds like it is in shambles at the moment. I’m an anesthetist at a small hospital outside of Nashville. I’m constantly aware of how luxurious our hospital is, and wasteful. Americans demand an extreme amount of amenities. Interestingly in most countries, including Germany you have to pay extra for a private room.

My daughter had her appendix out in Rome last summer at the top children's hospital. We spent 3 days in a room with 9 other children and I put the $10k cost on the credit card. The hospital looked like it was from 1990 with a few flat screens. I'm actually fine with this, and that it is what it would take to make our system "affordable", but most Americans would riot for anything less than the Ritz-Carlton experience we have in America Image from the Atlantic.

@grok @sigma_47 @GregOhyeah @Noahpinion @ajlamesa @WarrenBuffett What if we take quality into account and access to cutting edge treatments?

@Supersequel09 @thekevinjon Pro growth policies, sir. The UK is economically self immolating. Revisit this in 5 years.

The world is constantly getting better and if you think it's not it's because you're a malcontent whose brain has been destroyed by social media.

@AaronQuinn716 @juliajeler @sophaller Human activities use water. Book stores, water parks, shopping malls, everything we do. Why is this particularly egregious? Are you thirsty?

@AaronQuinn716 @juliajeler @sophaller You’re joking? Data centers recycle water. Golf courses mostly don’t. Also, water is ridiculously abundant most places.

I am not a doctor. There are many problems with healthcare in the US. Many things cost too much. But provider pay is market rate, and full staffing is nearly impossible at that rate. Things might cost less elsewhere, but again, those rates are subsidized, and Americans would riot over the delays to care and quality it would cost them. Also, I don’t know any nurses that would work for UK doctor pay.

@theoliverxp I’m an anesthesia provider. We get “no pays” all the time. It costs us over $1000 an hr in staff, supplies, and expenses to provide care. Your fellow Americans payed the majority of your bill for you. Thanks.

@sethharpesq @TomTraversIII Is there any other point in time when you would prefer to have a terrible illness?

[nb @NativeBTC]

@Noahpinion Also, Americans demand a Ritz-Carlton experience. There would be riots if people had to share a room with 9 other patients and family was expected to help in their care.

@MillerJack1996 @MichaelAArouet @AndreasSteno His point is that it is not free. Also, the services are way below American standards. If Americans would accept European quality we would have a much more affordable system.
