@sickburnbro I guess nobody is yet worried the retributors might be capable of seeking incautious victims from among other career tracks.
@ACL9000 its extremely tone deaf to be saying "AKTUALLY OUR HEALTHCARE IS GREAT!" at this point.
They manipulate any free market elements and also don't influence pricing for the benefit of consumers.
Not sure who this benefits other than lobbyists, politicians, and companies making money off it..

@threalist @ACL9000 the most important thing to take away from this is : "lies, damned lies and statistics"
and the second most is: if you gut says 'I'm getting fucked' and the honey'd tongue says "this is actually the best deal you can get!" you are ABSOLUTELY GETTING FUCKED

>americans pay less of their health costs out of pocket than people in almost any other developend country
I don't know what statistical fuckery resulted in those charts, but this is not even close to being true.
Besides out-of-pocket is not even the correct measure. The correct measure of healthcare costs is insurance paid by employer (or person) plus out-of-pocket.

@BroDrillard @ACL9000 it's probably ignoring the pre-tax costs you pay for healthcare plans.
