I wonder if Americans actually believe healthcare in Europe is “free”. Like, everyone pays a monthly sum, and depending on the country a hefty one. 10000000% better than the american system, but nothing is free in life, except death.
I think the major point in Europe is the price regulation of drugs and healthcare services. That’s what keeps things manageable.
(no shh everybody be quiet)
Yeah, wow, Jum, that’s a great point. Why not? I guess they probably should be! Well, you’ve convinced me.
(no, shh shh shh!)
It is not like big pharma and the military industrial complex would treat us like lab rats. These anti vaxers are stupid. Like my nation… which is comminting a genocide for the epstein class would ever do such a thing. I trust my goverment… I am no fool.
The virtues of free treatment for diabetes, cancer, and epilepsy not withstanding, the difference between them and COVID is that they aren’t contagious. The benefit of treating them is linear, while the benefit of slowing the spread of COVID was exponential.
I was gonna say this, but you said it way better. The important part of vaccine mandates was the contagion aspect of it; so the funding was justified by public safety and obviously care for our neighbours was a huge incentive to get more protected.
I feel like you don’t understand that time is a cube.
I feel like if you asked a conservative (which I assume this guy is) “should insulin be given away for free to save lives and ease the burden of illness?” he’d say no, because he’s a stupid sack of shit that doesn’t care about other people even if that would improve his own life. And double-no if those people were getting free treatment.
Well, I mean they weren’t free. The gov paid the drug companies quite a lot if I recall correctly. Free would be even better though.
