RE: What Blue States Don’t Want You to Know About Medicaid
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Most of these countries have free or very cheap healthcare through taxes. It works well for basic and emergency care, but the downside is long wait times for non-urgent stuff. If you want faster or better service, people usually buy private or upgrade insurance. So yeah — it’s "free," but you still pay if you want more comfort or speed.

Well it works for them and people don't get in debt for cancer treatments or major Surgeries.
I totally understand your perspective, and I’m not claiming our system is perfect. The Affordable Care Act hasn’t been around that long, and sure — it needs improvements.
But my main point is this: if you're able-bodied, you shouldn't just sit back and expect others to carry your weight. No matter what country or system you're in, you have a responsibility to contribute in some way.
Being part of a society means giving back — not being a burden. Whether it’s work, volunteering, or some form of effort, everyone should be doing their part.
