As someone with medical conditions from a country with universal publicly funded health care, while it may not be flawless (though in terms of actual medical treatment, no complaints either) it sure does seem to be a whole hell of a lot better than the alternative.
Not once have I had a sleepless night since been diagnosed over a decade ago about insurance, co-pay or how to afford my drugs/medical treatment.
I’m on two prescriptions per month, total cost to me is £114 a year (about 150 bucks).
Folks over in the US are getting hosed, twice the per capita with a worse outcome and it costs you a fortune on top personally.
That healthcare is tied to employment is just the insane cherry on top (I’m aware of the historical reasons why that happened but should have been fixed not long after).
