[extropy-chat] Who Gets Expensive Treatments Under Socialism?

[Benjamin Goertzel]

$150/month???

Could you let me know who your insurer is please?

I am fairly young and quite healthy; and my wife and 3 kids are much
younger and also healthy, and we pay about $380/month for barely more
than "catastrophic care", thru the National Association for the
Self-Employed.

Having lived in Oz and NZ which had national health care, I can assure
all Americans that the OZ/NZ nationalized system was far better from
the end-user's perspective, as well as less expensive from a societal
perspective.
