I am not assuming anything. The burden of proof is on the author of the diagram above. And by ignoring even the most basic good practices (data normalization) they have failed to show a valid argument...

To blame the person pointing out a known bad practice and to put the onus on them instead is not how this is done.

And to be clear we arent talking about a cost thing here, you literally cant get certain drugs for certain purposes at any cost or with any insurance. The drug and circumstances vary from country to country and drug to drug.

I have lived in most major countries around the world, I've come to know the healthcare of other countries quite well and been abused by nearly all of them in some way.

@gpowerf HA!

> That sounds like an American making assumptions about how things work in the EU without any actual knowledge.

Thats a weird thing to say when right in my bio I clearly point out I live in the Netherlands.

In fact if you read it you'd realize its quite the opposite, an American who moved to Europe and realized that their system was just as broken as America's just in very different ways.

@HeavenlyPossum

That wasnt the whole point, only that their lifestyle is a huge factor that isnt even attempted to be normalized for it. Its bad data science plain and simple.

Could you imagine being alive before newton, just floating and swimming through the air with no gravity going from one place to another. Newton was kinda a dick for inventing gravity, it makes everything so much harder.

@DrJackBrown In that case lets just hope if he ever becomes president that no one ever leaks those sex tapes... my god i hope they dont leak those sex tapes.

Freedom means the freedom to spend more money than is reasonable on yoru health and being able to make unhealthy choices if you want, sure.

@GossiTheDog @malwaretech

@max_sang

Well I certainly wouldnt argue that price gouging isnt a factor.. but where int he world you getting those specific numbers?

One would expect if you are unhealthy you will not have the life expectancy of a healthier culture **at any level of spending**. But since people tend to be willing to spend huge amounts of money to get even a few extra days of life it would make sense that people who are hugely unhealthy will spend huge amounts of money to compensate.

You can **always** spend more on your health, and some will go to extremes, but there is diminishing returns at a certain point (which is why people can spend such insane amounts)

Take myself for example, I am spending 10x more for a prescription medication right now simply because its in shortage and im an off-label use so im the first to be dropped. In europe now amount of spending would get you the drug because it would be controlled.. here you have the option to spend money to get special off label compounding done but since your offlabel your off insurance too, so you have to pay a fortune. In europe it wouldnt be cheaper, it just wouldnt be an option.

@GossiTheDog @malwaretech

And now they are showing dick pics in congress.... yea america is on its way out.

@GossiTheDog

Its almost like countries with unhealthy lifestyles like eating and exercise choices are going to spend more on healthcare and not live as long.... shocker.

@malwaretech

@Extelec It doesnt say that they cant swim there (an imperitive) it says that they dont swim there (An observation)

@dclr42 The features cost him more than anyone else... it cost him $44 billion

@lowqualityfacts I used to love watch him destroy liberals but her has gotten so cringe in recent years its painful to watch him.

@Rado1 ha!

@VoxDei Sounds like you should be on the safe side and buy a ticket. You win every time.

@mike805

Yep and you own full copyright to it to do with it as you please... I dont even see that as psychopath, its consenting adults, so I have nothing against it.

@gpowerf

@gpowerf No way, in much the same way that pornography isnt prostitution because someone brought a video camera :)
