Well it’s both. Space age treatments… If you can afford it.
(I’m not saying it provides the best overall outcomes for the whole population, but you can’t contest the quality of high end hospitals like mayo clinic or similar)
I don’t think you give someone an A+ for doing 1% of the project really really well.
Like the Nazis were actually environmentalists. They also advanced medical science by decades. Do we praise them for it?
I don’t mean to invoke Nazis, but you get my point yeah? If the vast majority of the people who need the treatment cannot get it? That isn’t ‘both’ in my opinion.
The both is america medical pinnacle is a+. American general availability is c-. (Anyone can go to a quality emergency room but won’t afford regular care)
A lot of third world countries have top of the line medical treatments. The difference to socially developed countries is in how accessible it is to the general population.
Isn’t it great? I love it. The whole situation is amazing. So insurance covers this surgery, but they don’t do it directly because reasons and I had to enter a self pay agreement with the hospital. After surgery the hospital takes my money, bills insurance, insurance reimburses the hospital, then the hospital reimburses me. And if anyone says no during any of these steps I get to start suing people. I had to save a down payment on a house amount of money for something that insurance is supposed to cover, and if I have any kind of insurance changes along the way I risk being out the entire amount
This is just so fucked. In no way do I mean on your end, but just that the system begets inhumane situations like this.
The US is a third world country when it comes to healthcare
And education, and social services, and basically everything.
