arent americans tired of subsidising worlds healthcare by paying massive premiums to fund r&d into new drugs?
>>
Yes. There's a fight related to that right now, and it's the primary source of contention over the shutdown.
>>

The american government could give all of its citizens free healthcare tomorrow if it wanted to. They choose not to because the same people have their money invested in farma corporations and are making bank by exploiting americans. This has nothing to do with spendings on other things like defense. Blaming the wrong thing

>The american government could give all of its citizens free healthcare tomorrow
where do you think the money for this would come from?
>>
>>216467913
wow thank you AMERICA for protecting the entire world for absolutely NO compensation at all
THANK YOU!
>>
>>216467913
we don't fucking want their defense, it's just an excuse they made up to justify their military presence in Europe.
>BUT MUH RUZZIA N SHIEEEEEEET
Russia is still struggling to take over the poorest shithole in the region, they lost 1 million troops in 4 years and they only have less than 20% of Ukraine under their control. I think we can handle them ourselves.
>>
Is that artist also gonna draw the fact that the dollar is the de facto global currency, and is in great part how and why the US spends so much on its military
>>
>>216467913
What causes my country's to tongue bathe our corporate overlords to near unfathomable degrees?

Your current taxes should be able to cover it if your corrupt politicians weren't pocketing it all in useless projects that cost 10 times more than they should
Also I don't understand why your healthcare treatments are so expensive compared to here. Fixing a broken leg does not cost 100 thousand dollars. A few hours from a doctor and some plaster does not cost that much. I also don't understand why american healthcare insurances often simply refuse to pay for your treatments even if they are obliged to

I want america out of Europe. Less america is better for the world

ameribros are so generous
>>
>>216467913
Yes, but we also want better drugs to cure everything.
And want the world to have NATO.
And all of these expenses drive inflation for us which impoverishes anyone who wants to hold their money in reserve from the market.
Step it the fuck up, rest of the world.
>>
>>216467967
WHY doesn't your government just make EVERYTHING FREE FOREVER, Jew?
It's just numbers on a screen, right?
>>
>>216468078
Immediate federal EU now. Chud leadership. Nato withdrawal. Pan eu army deployed along Russian border. All zogmerican based evicted. Turkey-Greece border than makes the Berlin wall look like a joke. Rapefugee boats shot on site.
Vgh... What will be.
>>
>>216467913
Guess which country has free universal healthcare. Mandatory public holidays, maternity leave, and a better pension than US service men. All paid for with an interest-free loan loan from the taxpayers that immediately gets forgiven every year.
>>
>>216468116
Not everything should be free. But you do can make life necessities free or cheaper with government support: Healthcare, safe drinking water, food quality, affordable housing, education
Your country has none of that

>richest country in history cannot afford something even poor shitholes like zambia managed to do
You're a useful golem for Israel.

>>216468063
>uhh maybe if you spent less on metro rail you could conjure up 4.7 trillion dollars from thin air
Retard
> I don't understand why your healthcare treatments are so expensive
Only if you're paying sticker price
If you have insurance, the insurance company negotiates the prices down drastically
>I also don't understand why american healthcare insurances often simply refuse to pay for your treatments even if they are obliged to
They're not obliged to
You choose a plan that provides a specific amount of coverage, they'll pay for anything that falls under that coverage
If it's not covered under the contract that you agreed to, they don't have to pay

>heh, how come Zambian children get free malaria vaccination funded by international aid groups and administered by teenage volunteers, but Americans can't even have free quadruple-bypass surgeries for morbidly obese retirees in their cutting-edge hospitals staffed with doctors making 300k a year?
>>
>>216468195
what happens if an uninsured american citizen just rips the medical bill to shreds and refuses to pay?
>>
Thank you so much Americans for defending Europe without getting anything in return at all!!!! *kneels*
>>
>>216468195
>Only if you're paying sticker price
>If you have insurance, the insurance company negotiates the prices down drastically
Isn't this obviously a scam? Why do you have this?
>>
>>216468278
The hospital tries to get the money for a bit, then gives up and has a collections agency handle it. You'll get a hit to your credit rating, but that becomes irrelevant after a couple years.
>>
>>216468195
>Retard
I'm not talking about just metro. Every single project in your country is extremely over budget than it should be. I bet a good portion of that money goes straight in the pockets of your politicians or israel
>the insurance company negotiates the prices down drastically
Seems dystopian to me. Americans still go bankrupt over medical bills. That's something you never hear here.
>They're not obliged to
Absolutely dystopian. So what do you do have to pay to get coverage for everything? I pay 150/month and get it given back again from the government at the end of the month
>>
What do you mean, are americans developing new drugs?
>>
>>216468319
>credit rating
Never understood this either. Seems like the social status points in china. We don't have that in the free world
>>
>>216467913
yep

>>216468279
I would like to thank Europe and many of the Eurocrats for trying to funnel other nations money to an Austrian, 100% confirmed pedophile ring.
So Zased (get fucked, glad you are gone)
>>
>>216468324
>do you do have to pay to get coverage for everything?
Yeah that's what insurance is, you pay for coverage on X and they cover X
You can criticize the idea of healthcare being based on private insurance instead of government funding but the "why doesn't insurance cover literally any random bullshit I ask for??? uhh no I didn't pay for the 'random bullshit coverage' plan lol" argument retarded
>>
>>216468177
oh yeah I'm sure zambia has fantastic healthcare
>>
>>216468319
Does the hospital just take the loss, or does someone else pay for it? Like the state, or does the hospital have insurance?
>>
>>216468352
Hope you like the millions of pajeets and africans you imported to replace Europeans instead
>>
>>216468374
why would they have insurance? they're hospitals, not cars!
>>
>>216468374
No clue, I just imagine the collections agency buys the right to the debt off of them at a discount.
>>
>>216468374
I don't know if this ever actually happens but I'm sure they could sue for the unpaid debt
>>
>>216468358
That wasn't my question. I asked what you have to pay to cover everything
>>
>>216468374
Hospitals and other medical institutions make huge amounts of money, they'll sell the debt to collections agencies for pennies on the dollar and shrug off the losses
>>
>>216468419
I'd expect it happens a lot actually. Like, I'm pretty sure American hospitals don't refuse emergency care to poor people. You can call an ambulance for a dying homeless person, and they'll make a good-faith effort to save him even if it's obvious he can't pay.
>>
>>216467913
More like aren't they tired of subsidizing Israel
>>
god, I love being european. would hate to live in the hellhole named USA.

I wish Krauts were this generous as well. Imagine how rich Europe could have been if it were as kind as Amerigods (thank you for saving the world three times, bros)

>Jews want to make stuff free for Americans, wanting cheap healthcare is Jewish
The level of brainwashing in Burgerstan is simply mindblowing, how does a country that never experienced serfdom reach this?
>>
>>216469911
The Virginia-class subs were slated for the 2030s, and the Secretary of State is a stalwart defender of the partnership.
>Ranking members of the powerful US Senate Foreign Relations and Intelligence committees Jim Risch and Marco Rubio said Australia would still have control of the submarines by the early 2030s even if America’s own production targets were not met.
A republican administration is also an admin that takes its naval capacity more seriously. Kamala wouldn't be rejuvenating the dockyards like Trump has. We're America's number 1 ally in the Asia-Pacific region, so there is little room for doubt that they will let us down. Meanwhile the French were running on enormous blow-outs & delays without even assembling a nuclear-powered sub.

No one but the Aussies attended every single 20th-21st century expedition alongside the Americans. We are blood brothers.

Why won't they defend us from third world invasion?
