Shitty clickbait! We will never know what happened to that poor hiker!
He saved money and everyone clapped
Everyone clapped… until they didn’t get universal healthcare…
Screw that! Medicare costs money. I want mine covered by the taxes I already pay. Just cut out the wars and we’re good.
Are you kidding me!? I love paying taxes for Medicare that I’ll never get, as well as premiums to for profit health insurance that rejects the tests that my dr wants. Oh and I love that I still have to pay even more out of pocket when I get some odd bill six months later.
Why on earth would anyone in their right mind want to give that up!?
Just cut out the wars
did someone besmirch my precious money hole
And I would walk 500 hundred miles and I would walk 500 more… to avoid ambulance cost
People starting the Camino de Santiago from Saint Jean Pier de Port sing this song too.
I think we need more moths
Add india too to the denylist.
While it’s not single payer it appears to be hugely subsidized and largely free in India.
Yeah. But mostly it’s just a scam or low quality products, treatments. Thousands of government hospitals in india doesn’t have any facilities at all. Private hospitals are working to harvest money as much as possible. Even in government hospitals patients have to sleep in floor.
Also most of the health care products available in markets are not so healthy or even original products at all. People pay to buy things that destroy their health because of no other way.
They are saying india is improving by hiding all these ugly facts. No matter which party currently ruling india, every government is heavy trying to act like they don’t see these at all. They stole their own people.
Btw, it’s really not so proud to say an indian. Never has been. 🫥
(Nowadays india censors alot of the web and force other country based services too to moderate some contents on social media. So am a little bit worried that my account will be banned or comment deleted for saying these even though india have no control over lemmy or this instance. If this will be considered as spreading hate speech about india or then government, then it’s not. Everything am said is just truth. As an india i experienced it alot and it’s so disturbing than it looks.)
Yikes! Al the best, brother. Sorry to hear about this.
If it is any consolation, my country that used to call itself the home of the free is now being sold to tech bro oligarchs who hate it that the peasants have any freedom at all.
Free for the poor. Others have to pay a nominal fee. I pay 2 rupees to see the doctor and 20-30 rupees for tests / medicines.
(100 rupees = 1 USD / Euro or 7 CNY approximately)
In Canada we have universal healthcare but also ambulance fees. The healthcare may be free, but getting to it isn’t.
Call a designated driver?
Sources about U.S. being the worst at health care in the world?
For the record, if anyone is in a serious situation and needs rescue, SAR is free in the US. A medical helicopter, on the other hand, is not.
It depends. SAR in my state is coordinated by our Fish & Wildlife Department and staffed with volunteers.
They will bill you if they determine you willfully caused the situation leading to you having to be extracted.
You would have to provide sources, but I’d allow it.
I can’t believe this is the only comm that will not throw a hissy fit about this.
What the actual fuck are you talking about? This is fodder for all communities on this platform.
You sure pissed me off trying to hit the voting button, OP!
(Good shitpost)
As I said in another thread: Even if cost weren’t a factor, if I can walk out of there it’s a waste to use a helicopter.
I mean this truly: may you never share a predicament anything like the one described.
If I do don’t call a helicopter.
The Budj Bim Cultural Landscape in southwestern Victoria is home to one of the oldest and most extensive aquaculture systems on Earth, built by the Gunditjmara people to farm kooyang — the short-finned eel (Anguilla australis).
About 6,600 years ago — and possibly much earlier — the Gunditjmara used the basalt rock from ancient lava flows of the Budj Bim volcano to construct a sophisticated network of channels, weirs, dams, and ponds across roughly 100 square kilometres around Lake Condah. Some stone channels were dug up to 200 metres long to divert water and exploit seasonal water-level changes, creating a managed wetland factory that trapped, stored, and harvested migrating eels.
