> Many of these articles exaggerate the price of healthcare in the US. I'm an independent contractor and pay for my own health insurance. My wife and I together cost less that 500/month
Do you think $500 a month is cheap? That's insane - that's about a quarter of my entire income tax in the UK.
> It has problems, but sacrificing quality for nationalization is not the solution.
But both life expectancy is lower and infant mortality is higher in the US than in the UK.
What quality do you think you'd be sacrificing? I'm getting better life expectancy and infant mortality than you are, and I'm paying a lot less than you are.
