The American system isn't even that fast. Unless you spend like a shit ton of monies.
It's sad how far the NHS has fallen. At one point it was a model for fairness and efficiency in healthcare. Now it's a shadow of its former self.
Creeping privitisation seems like it has been the plan all along. Make the NHS shit so people are more willing to accept privatisation.
Degrading the quality of a public service in order to claim that public sector isn't doing its job is a classic way to justify privatization. Exact same thing is happening in Canada incidentally.
The quality triangle format obscures the truth: U.S. health care is only fast and good if you can afford to pay for it. So, for the rest of us, since it's not cheap, it's also not fast and not good.
That's why we're so pissed off.
I think that's precisely the point the meme is making with the cost of healthcare in US. If you can afford it then it's great, and if not then you're screwed.
the wasp nest is really rankled by this one
It's because it sounds like you are dissing free Healthcare. Free Healthcare good. Expensive Healthcare bad. If you weren't aware
Free healthcare is only good when it is actually good, but in the UK & Canada, it ain’t so good anymore.
that's the weirdest possible way to interpret that meme
It’s really not. I got the same impression
