Other Countries Get Free Healthcare — Why Don’t We?
🇺🇸 Since When Did Healthcare Start Meaning Debt in America?
At what point did getting sick in America become a financial crime?
Because that’s exactly what it feels like now.
And the wild part is this: America doesn’t actually have a healthcare problem. It has a healthcare financing problem.
The care is world-class — the system that bills you is what’s broken.
Hospitals can charge whatever they want:
• $40 for a Tylenol
• $3,000 for an ER visit
• $100,000+ for a surgery
And there is no national price regulation to stop it.
Insurance companies profit by denying care.
Employers decide who gets treated and who doesn’t.
Families go into debt for basic medical needs — something that doesn’t happen in any other major country.
Meanwhile, nations like Canada, France, Japan, Australia, and the UK have figured it out. You walk into a hospital, you get treated, and you walk out without a bill. No deductibles. No surprise ambulance fees. No $5,000 out-of-pocket “co-insurance.”
Here’s the kicker politicians hate to admit:
Universal healthcare in America wouldn’t require new taxes.
We already spend more money on healthcare than countries with universal systems.
The U.S. spends over $4.5 trillion a year — more than enough to cover every single American.
The problem is the money gets funneled through middle-men, private insurers, and corporate pricing games instead of actual care.
Fix the payment system — not the doctors, not the nurses, not the hospitals — and America would instantly become one of the best countries on Earth.
No medical bankruptcies.
No parents choosing between groceries and insulin.
No seniors splitting pills to make it through the month.
No one losing their home because they had surgery.
Every nation that solved this became healthier, stronger, and more financially stable. America could too — and without raising taxes a single penny.
