There's this cartoon understanding the health care system, where the US has system A, and every other country in the world has system B. You will find people on both sides of the aisle believing this. Even though Germany is closer to the US than it is to France.
(France also has a mix of private and public healthcare insurance)
When people get sick they come to the US for treatment if they can. You don't see world leaders and those with money going to Canada or Europe for treatment. Not when it's dire. The US is hella expensive for many reasons one is that we have the most bleeding edge medical technology.
There are plenty of studies that support his position.
But there are also lots of studies that oppose his position.
And everyone will listen to the studies that support their prior viewpoint and say that the others are bunk.
You could have a good debate about health care if everyone gave up their priors, was willing to listen to opposing evidence, and was willing to accept their preferred system has real honest-to-God not-said-sarcastically tradeoffs. Let us know when that happens.
You can find other articles and studies echoing the same conclusions.
> When people get sick they come to the US for treatment if they can.
No they don't. And many Americans go to other countries for treatment because they can't afford it in the US.
> You don't see world leaders and those with money going to Canada or Europe for treatment.
'Those with money' is a tiny portion of the population, which is why I said 'most citizens' get better healthcare in other countries (developed ones).
> The US is hella expensive for many reasons one is that we have the most bleeding edge medical technology.
Not really, US has some bleeding edge medicine, not the best for every aspect of health, and the bleeding edge stuff is only available to a very tiny portion of the population.
This link is full of horse poop.
Good coverage? Have you seen what the new ACA plans cover and don't cover?? And the cost??
Good is not a word I would use to describe their coverage.
They should have said "access to coverage" and it would have been more believable.
