Brits freak out when told the price of health care in the United States

But in relative terms, there really is no cost, as in, extra cost. No “sacrifice.”

Americans know that health care now isn’t free, and that it’s actually really expensive. Most just can’t put 2 and 2 together and realize that although universal health care could mean higher taxes for some, the actual cost would be lower because it’s not being run for billionaires’ profit anymore. They also don’t tend to realize how wasteful and unnecessary their empire’s military budget is. Shift half that to healthcare for all and…

Well, like I say, few Americans can even imagine such things.
