Our health system is the best in the world — particularly for exotic things — but only if you can afford it.

Last I knew over 90% of my county's budget was going to Medicaid. Trust me, lots of folks can afford it.

The best healthcare services aren’t paid by insurance, they’re paid “out of pocket.” More and more people (who can afford it) are either giving up on insurance or taking as little as possible.

For the typical doctor, hospital etc. it’s about the same in Europe as most parts of the U.S.
