No. Stay and fight. The theater of conflict is closed. There is no place else to go.
If you leave you’re the same as these fighting-age single men fleeing Syria or wherever. Literally or metaphorically, you’ll end up drowning in the Mediterranean in a pathetic cowards death.
To the radical old-heads like me. If you have stage 4 cancer, then you ain’t surviving. That’s a license to do anything because you’ll be dead in a year. Find a billionaire and do what needs to be done. Of course I mean give them a stern talking to; I’ve heard psychopaths respond well to those. And not one of the famous ones, they are actually not as bad. The less famous ones are also more touchable.
Stay strong in the struggle.
ah the irony, thank you pantyhosewimp, what an insightful comment from the lemmynsfw.com instance.
I know it’s Reddit but there’s a good resource with this sub…
This is like the conservative mantra “… now that it’s affecting me personally.”
i had a similar thought and i suspect it lays bare the social inclinations of the people of .world.
Not really, no “conservative mantra” intended. Quite the opposite… I was just charged thousands of dollars recently to fix my tooth even though I had insurance, not long after being charged other thousands for an unfortunate accident where I broke my leg.
The American healthcare system has no problem bankrupting you or me.
That’s usually a thing for the 40s though?
Don’t forget that life expectancy is much lower in the states, a 30yo American is as worn out as a 40 yo European
Seriously? I know that some jobs (like construction worker) make a difference, but…
Diet and exercise make a difference too. Most Americans eat a lot more calorific food and walk/cycle a lot less.
Healthcare still cheaper than moving to another country with Healthcare tbf
No, US healthcare is many times more expensive than healthcare in developed countries with universal healthcare.
You are being bled dry by the insurance industry while still parrotting their propaganda in favour of them.
You all need to work on reading comp, it’d be clear to any who are fluent in English that I was discussing the moving costs and emigration costs being higher than health insurance costs here.
And you need to work on your math comprehension. It would be clear to any who can understand basic arithmetic that lifetime healthcare costs in the US are far and away higher than emigration costs.
I don’t think moving to another country costs over $1,000,000 https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/21/upshot/covid-bills-financial-long-haulers.html
man wait until you find out about flying into another country to do some medical operations or tests or whatever, and then flying back, just because it’s fucking cheaper that way.
This is genuinely a really common occurrence.
It’s only cheaper that way if you don’t work full time.
You choose the quality of your insurance here. For the most part. It’s complicated and bad, for sure, but the problems with it are grossly over exaggerated
it can be cheaper that way for a lot of reasons, you might not be in network, your insurance might not want to cover it, there might be a million other factors, often times it’s just easier, and cheaper to go somewhere else, do that shit, pay out of pocket, go home, feel better, and then start working again.
Generally people aren’t too keen on working when trying to figure out if they have cancer or something, for example.
I’ve done this! Was not really the point of the trip but decided to give it a try.
Specifically, went to Taiwan and paid for the fanciest and most comprehensive health panel i could. I cannot compare the price to the US because nowhere in the US offers an equivalent service.
Ezra.com is close but: 1. Much worse quality. 2. Only offers 1/8 of the tests i got. 3. Considering only the comparable tests the cost is 3.5x more.
Like, i cannot describe to American doctors the experience because it’s like a fantasy tale. I couldn’t of possibly had that experience in their minds. They are so deep in the american shitcare the story i describe must be false. The damage to the psyche when you realize you are working your ass off for less pay to deliver a worse product is too much.
The denial of many Americans is too much. They’d rather die painfully, and at great cost, than admit capitalism cannot solve healthcare.
