For people outside the US, this is a classic example and by no means a rarity.

@VeroniqueB99 I don’t understand how the US insurance system can fail at such a classic case while the same case in Germany just works.
In Germany, after the cancer is defeated, you can continue building your life almost from the same financial position you had before cancer.
That is what happened in my family, and the insurance and the pension system even paid for rehab.
No life savings lost, because protection against such high damage, low probability risks is just what insurance is for.

@ArneBab It works in EVERY other democratic country.
In France, you'd paid NOTHING if you have cancer. Period. Not the chemo, not the operations/radiation, hospitaliztion $0. There are so many countries that place health as a human right but not the US. 🤷♀️

@VeroniqueB99 @ArneBab Scotland here, brain tumour out my head 4 years ago, checkup MRI scans every 6 months for life, and 4 anti epilepsy pills (2 medications) per day. So far cost me €0. Estimated cost for the rest of my life €0.

I find that totally normal... in the US you'll get "yeah but you're paying it in taxes!" (no they're not) or "that's just because etc etc"... there's so much that the US won't fix for themselves... cuz it's 'socialist'!

@VeroniqueB99 @ArneBab Yes we do pay it in our taxes... and we actually pay a lot less... and EVERYONE gets healthcare! 😁👍 It’s such a messed up country I can’t even begin to understand why folk tolerate it. The first time Trump won the election he actually lost by 2.9 million votes, and they try to explain the system to you as if that justifies the absurdness of it. Odd country. A lot of nice people there though 😁

@kDelta And as nod to some common sense: about 750.000 people who voted for Trump against Biden did not vote for Trump against Harris.
Sadly about 12 Million people who voted for Joe Biden did not vote for Kamala Harris.
So Trump still won despite losing followers.

you'll get "yeah but you're paying it in taxes!"
What's the US government spending on healthcare compared to other countries 🤔

@VeroniqueB99 @kDelta @ArneBab this always annoys me. We live in a society, which is the definition of socialism. It's really just where we choose as the edge of the tribe that people are arguing about (household, family, friends, street, village, town, state, country, planet (if anyone ever settles in the moon or Mars), etc.
