OK cool, well if "someone is wrong on this Internet" is more important to you than making a case for a better health are system (that I note you have spent 0 energy on) I think I'm done. Thanks for the entertainment of "$5k per person is 30% cheaper than $10k" though, that was a good one.

if “someone is wrong on this Internet” is more important to you

If you think misinformation and propaganda is "someone being wrong on the internet" you are clearly a lost cause. Hope you enjoy the troll farms!

$5k per person is 30% cheaper than $10k”

Never wrote such a thing. Good strawman.

"As usual with those sorts of memes, the numbers are completely wrong. European nations spend around 11-12% of GDP on healthcare vs about 17% for the US. So you'd likely pay significantly less (about 30% less)"

Dis you?
