I’m always confused by seeing people say they’re losing their insurance.
Does it come with your job?
In Australia we have public hospitals with a lengthy wait time but its free or you can pay for private health insurance. Doesn’t really speed much up for where i live but the premiums I pay a year get me free dental for the most part which makes it worth it. Not to mention paying for insurance brings down your annual tax by 1500 or so dollars
I’m an American and was on state insurance. But was only on state insurance due to being unemployed but the recent going ons with the country government meant a lot of us are getting kicked off that or are having to jump through a bunch of hoops to stay on.
After I’m kicked off I could maybe still go to the big city near me and get on their system but that requires driving to the big city and they still might not. And if I went to a hospital they’d have to treat me but making them not charge me, while possible, is an ordeal.
I assume you’re American?

I’d love single payer system.
