Wow! There is an enormous lack of humanity behind this practice.
There is an enormous lack of humanity behind the entire "healthcare" in the US. As a European, it is never not equal parts baffling and horrifying to me.
Yep... I have many complaints about the system we have in canada but every time I hear a story about the US, I remember that there are levels to first world healthcare, and some countries are stuck at the tutorial
I'm Canadian too. I know people who've had lung transplantation and one who had a part of their spinal column removed and put back in.... they're both living pretty normal lives now.
Our system has challenges but it'll keep you alive and you won't be bankrupt after engaging with it. Either of those people would have absolutely run down any insurance package with their care and treatment.
It shouldn’t be that baffling, honestly.
This is what happens when you let profit-driven corporations; and the rich fucks who own them, dictate government policy.
America really is the capitalist dream.
It's baffling that US-Americans are not up in arms about this, demanding a reasonable system from their government.
