This thread really illustrates the problem with Insurance in the USA. I’m seeing a lot of my MRI was FREE, MY MRI was $20, My MRI Was 4K, mine was $500

This is exactly the problem with our system. We need real Health insurance coverage every American can afford with transparent pricing.

Right now we basically have people all over the place. Some with Amazing coverage and others with Geek Squad Protection coverage for Health Insurance.

Or it just illustrates how reddit will spam a narrative blindly without any basis in facts or reality.

healthcare being unaffordable for many Americans is unfortunately a very real issue. No, traveling abroad for healthcare isn't going to be cheaper for every American. It is for way too many people though and that's insane for the richest country in the world. I don't think pointing that out is spinning a false narrative.

Edit: I'm replying to somebody who's entire post history is defending capitalism and the 7.25 dollar minimum wage idk why I give people the benefit of the doubt on this fuck ass site 😭

Your median income isn’t that impressive. You’re only the richest country if you phrase it very specifically, which is kind of the point of the problem i think. Some of the world’s richest people live in America.

It's not about median income. The US has the funds to take care of its people and instead ignores them for profit and imperialism.

Your country is beyond broke. Your debt is 100.2% of your gdp.

So not really unless you start to budget and make better decisions to spend your tax money.

u/plastic_tree_102 Aug 23 '26

Yes... That's my entire point. The money we pay into taxes is being used to kill children in foreign countries instead of healthcare lol

And stupid false memes like this just harm our point, though.

Literally none of the innovations would exist without the evil socialists indoctrination camps called Universities.

You’re only alive because a bunch of commie liberals developed the technology to keep your Cheeto-residue lined arteries from blocking blood to and from your heart. Pretty much everything in your life keeping you alive and comfortable was invented and developed by so called “educated liberal elites.” 

It’s sad because you are everything you claim to hate, but not bright enough to realize it. It would be funny if it weren’t so tragic. The damage you’ve done to modern society holds us all back. You are the scum of the earth. The lowest of the low.

Capitalism is when healthcare and technology. Lib owned in the marketplace of ideas 😎

u/MKZZX Aug 23 '26

Right so you're using crutch tactics to compensate for an inability to articulate rational arguments. You've already been called out on this once, not sure what you expected doubling down lol

u/plastic_tree_102 Aug 23 '26

Its over lib, you've failed to articulate a logical argument. Admit defeat or ill be forced to give you a downvote.

I'm independent and don't care about politics, but your meltdown here is special.

Check me y’all they’re ‘independent’

u/mojorisin453 Aug 23 '26

Weird take that capitalism provides. I mean that’s essentially unprovable so wtf are you on about? You might be on the right track if you said that science provides but you’re independent so I’ll just shut up now.

u/MKZZX Aug 23 '26

I mean that’s essentially unprovable

Not how that works. Technology developed under the US system gets included in the success of the US system, it's that simple.

You guys, pack it up! This guys got us, American Healthcare is perfectly fine our lies have been exposed.

Thank you MKZZX for bravely putting a stop to all these lying anti-American saboteurs.

You can strawman all you want, it won't change the fact that you're here blindly upvoting misinformation without basis of fact.

You must be fun at parties
