It’s crazy to me that your health care is dictated by your company that you work for.
Companies are known to try make money not spend it.
I say this sitting in a hospital now at 1am with my wife cause she’s having very bad pains during pregnancy all for free, despite them saying we will likely have to drive 20kms to the next hospital because this one is underfunded and understaffed
Yeah God forbid we have socialized healthcare otherwise we’d have to put up with long wait times, barriers to accessing care, and a lack of choice in healthcare providers.we certainly don’t have any of that now.
Yeah what a horrible thing, everyone having access.
I think Australia’s system is reasonable. If you have money you can have private health and get seen faster etc and bypass the public system.
Unfortunately where I live its rural especially by American standards 260,000 people in my whole state (technically a territory <Northern Territory>) we have 3 cities two 20kms apart and the third 1500kms away with its own hospital there.
So it’s hard to service two hospitals so close to each other and tithe private maternity ward was just shut due to lack of income
