Not really.
I got laid off at 50, after 25 years with the same company and 30 years of honest and found my (long time controlled with diet and exercise) diabetes was now a ‘pre-existing condition’. Worked my whole life by the rules, and then screwed. If I had a more chronic health problem it would have been very dire. There simply has to be a way to ensure healthcare for people who have been productive citizens and done what they should (not druggies, smokers, fatties or bums) if things get bad later in life.
I’m good, having landed a job that has coverage after a year, but if I hadn’t, well, with healthcare , anything, and any cost beats nothing.
Do you have a cite for the 70% figure, please?
Saw it here the 70% here on FR.
I didn’t log the citation.
Any “national solution” that has any degree of effectiveness over and above the ‘mediocrity” that is the European systems will require a national degree of intrusion and control of the participants.
Of course maybe “mediocrity” is enough!
