Why did Americans get memed into believing that socialized medicine is communism, while at the same getting memed into believing that having fixed drug prices that are 10 to 30 times the production cost and having no way of negotiating for lower prices is capitalism?

You don't understand how our system works just because you read posts by 12 year olds on reddit
>be american boomer

B-but at least I don't have to wait 20 minutes in line!!
>y- you don't understand
Yeah it must be the reason
>Y-YOU D-DONT UNDERSTAND BRO! F-FUCKING REDDIT! WE TOTALLY AREN'T GETTING A-ASSFUCKED BY THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY
ideology funded by billions of dollars of revenue. neoliberalism needs an enemy in order to justify its objectively horrible policies. in the 80s this was the ussr but nowadays the threat is on internal forces critiqueing even if its just socdems who want to save liberal economnics.
Socialist economnics themselves arent bad btw. it depends on whose in charge and the surrounding conditions. as an example cuba has a lower suicide rate compared to the USA and a lot of european contries, and vietnam has a lot of contemporay industry despite all the conflicts and embargos constantly spammed at it. Belarus also has heavily nationalized industry and its beautiful
It quite literally is. If the majority of Americans reject your meme candidate's ideology, perhaps it's time to entertain the notion that their lives actually aren't as shit as portrayed by memesters instead of resurrecting dead arguments about "false consciousness".
There's free clinics here to. But keep seething leaf.
Russian hackers ofc

Why did Americans get memed into donating their life savings to someone who wasn't going to even take participate in the elections much less win?
Oh no no no
>Employers may offer incentives such as paying for air travel and waiving out-of-pocket expenses for care outside of the US. For example, in January 2008, Hannaford Bros., a supermarket chain based in Maine, began paying the entire medical bill for employees to travel to Singapore for hip and knee replacements, including travel for the patient and companion.[52] Medical travel packages can integrate with all types of health insurance, including limited benefit plans,[53] preferred provider organizations and high deductible health plans.

>PEHP Health and Benefits, which provides health insurance to the state's public employees, will fly patients who need certain prescriptions to San Diego and then transport them to Tijuana, Mexico, via private car. The company will then give the patient cash back so he or she can enjoy some of the money saved by their efforts, PEHP Managing Director Chet Loftis wrote in an email to U.S. News.
>And according to Loftis, employers are also benefiting from this medical tourism. The prescriptions included in PEHP's offer cost about $13,500 for a 90-day supply, he says. Even with the travel expenses and $500 cash back, Loftis claims the employer still saves between 40 percent and 60 percent.

redditors are fucking dumb. why are you so amerimutt centric. sanders is a dumb mutt cunt.
Because we have a stubborn belief in self-ownership, individualism, and being responsible for your own life.
It's not typical American culture. Mexicans voted for Bernie at far higher rates than whites.
I don't care about bernie lmao, I'm here to insult americans simple as
>be so individualistic it hurts your own selfinterest
It hurts my own self-interest to spend higher taxes to pay for the neighborhood heroin junkie's medical bills after he ODs
You take out student loans and donate them to Bernie, when he won the loans would disappear and college would be free. It was foolproof if blacks knew to vote in their own self interest.
But you'd spend less overall.
is it really individualism
and not more denying collectivism??
it´s not like brands and multinational concerns arent collective
but they arent seen as collective even if they are norhing more in the end.
Free clinics are against freedom because that's communism
bernie was the best chance the United Sharts of Poomerica had to actually change something i hope trump wins the democraps deserve to be buttfucked
Americans are undoubtedly the most greedy people on the planet, couple this with their lack of intelligence and massive egos, it's quite easy for rich people to pull the wool over their eyes.
What's fucking disgusting is how prevalent that shit is becoming in England.
I already have a great medical insurance plan from my job. Why should I pay for socialized medicine when every attempt to even partially implement it in the US (like Obamacare) has been inefficient? And even besides that, why should I be obligated to pay for other people?
It's no point dude, they will literally never understand this.
In a mutt's brain taxes = automatically bad, UNLESS it's being spent on the military of course. Then it's good, because god bless the USA and fuck the middle east
commie pls
I don't support more military spending but I do support less taxes in general, because you are inherently giving the government more power and legitimizing
a societal obligation to pay for other people. A government does not have any financial incentive to run efficiently or fairly, it is a bureaucratic behemoth, and taxes keep us slaves to it.
FACT: fucking nurses in the USA make more money than EU doctors
FACT: only ilegals have no access to healthcare since every person with a job has an insurance provided by the employer and people who are homeless tier poor have free clinics
If things were so great in Europe then why is there no migration from the USA?
Depends, are you a millionaire? If not then you would benefit from free healthcare
>nurses in the USA make more money than EU doctors
that depends on who they work for you dumb fuck
>only ilegals have no access to healthcare since every person with a job has an insurance provided by the employer
that depends on their employer and even then the coverage might be dogshit
There are 9 million Americans living abroad.
>There are no exact figures on how many Americans live abroad. In 1999, a State Department estimate suggested that the number may be between 3 million and 6 million. In 2016, the agency estimated 9 million U.S. citizens were living abroad.
LOL libtards BTFO
>every person with a job has an insurance provided by the employer
My paralegal assistance job doesn't cover health insurance
How many European professionals moved to the USA to get an actual salary again?
Stop coping, Europe is fucking poor as shit.
You should go there then
Don't forget about paying back the money spent to provide you free education and healthcare by french taxpayers before leaving
>the workforce isnt educated or healthy
>gdp either lowers or have to import fooreigners for cheap labor because nobody is natively trained for anything.
>doesn't refute my points
stop being such a bootlicker
>Waaaaaaaaaah waaaaaaaaaaaah you should go because you hurt my feelings
I'm not going anywhere but young French professionals with talent will and they are not going to pay shit back to France
Average healthcare spending scales with average disposable income so probably not
en.wikipedia.org
How many Americans live in Norway again?
>You don't understand how our system works
That's the thing: it doesn't.
>they are not going to pay shit back to France
Based leeches
absolutely irrelevant. besides, emigrating from the US to Norway is difficult. especially if you are poor and uneducated, ei the people that would want to escape their bad healthcare system
>absolutely irrelevant
Cope
>emigrating from the US to Norway is difficult.
Ah yes its difficult to immigrate to a first world country from a first world country, yup but those africans and arabs you got in Oslo just materialized there in fact they have always been there right? lmao
I'm under the impression that Americans see taxation much more as a zero sum game than what we do in the Nordics. I've had a lot of interesting taxation and welfare debates both online and IRL with Americans, and I've eventually come to notice that we grew up in a seemingly completely different cultural and political narrative than they did. They don't really share our sense of "we", and often don't take in consideration the larger socio-economic implications of various tax- and fiscal policies, and tend to argue more from the perspective of their particular household. However, the result of that debate can still be interesting, if not somewhat inconclusive.
I have no empirical data to back this up with what so ever, though.
>its difficult to immigrate to a first world country from a first world country
it is. you need to show that you will be able to financially support yourself, and show proof of higher education. i don't remember the exact amount of money needed but it was not insignificant.
the niggers and arabs are recognized as refugees, escaping from poverty and war. not all of them are actually escaping from legitimately bad living conditions but the government categorizes them as such
yeah sure dude, its easy to get into norway if you're from afghanistan but if you are american its impossible
sureeeeeeeeeeee dude
It works well for large hospital systems/insurance companies/drug manufacturers
I never said it was impossible you retard. the government is more inclined to take in refugees from war torn countries than an uneducated manual laborer from the US.
if you are a burger with a masters degree in engineering or whatever and have some assets you could probably emigrate with relative ease. but you would not really need to emigrate here because you have the money to get good healthcare in the US. The only people that would want to move to Norway to access our healthcare system are the ones that have a hard time doing it
cope
Bernie doesn't advocate for socialized medicine, he supports a single payer insurance
I don't wanna be that guy, but anyone that even remotely ever listened to Shapiro is a literal retard.
Whoa, Medicare didn't take care of his grandpa? I hate Medicare for All now
