      …b-b-but you’ve got the best healthcare system in the world - it’s why you pay so much. It’s certainly not delivering comparable outcomes to Qatar and Lebanon for 3x and 8x the cost respectively, or 50% more than the next most expensive country.

        I mean, thankfully I live in the UK, so we still have the NHS (for now). I do feel extremely sorry for our American cousins, though. Their healthcare (insurance) system is fucked.

          You have it half right.

          Our healthcare system is fucked.

          Our insurance system is quite profitable.
