    This is incorrect.

    We are overpaying for lower quality healthcare.

    We have worse outcomes than countries with free healthcare.

    As my father used to say “it may be bad, but it’s expensive.”

      I’m a 30 year old who’s been waiting 14 months for a doctors visit to establish a primary care physician in the US.

      I paid for a whole year of employer provided healthcare that I couldn’t even use the most basic function of. This system is great

      “You can find better quality but you can’t pay more”. Is the phrasing I heard.
