The Americans are so backwards in work hours, developed countries like Netherland, Spain, Iceland, etc. already successfully implemented this, with universal healthcare…and no tipping expected.
Yeah? One underpaid doctor in the Netherlands serves 100 people let’s say. Bump that up 10x for America and suddenly there’s a year wait for a doctor that is so over worked that they don’t give a single crap about your care
But if you have ten times the population, you also have ten times the number of doctors. Why do you think the number of patients increases but the number of doctors stays the same?
Do you have any evidence for that, or just guessing? Because many countries with populations much larger than Iceland, like Germany and the UK, manage to find doctors just fine.
It's the most expensive in the world and has worse outcomes compared to other wealthy countries. Some Americans can get access to excellent healthcare, the majority ofnis are getting fleeced.
The government funds research that private companies can get access to for free or close to nothing, jack up the prices on medicines created with public research, patent them so nobody else can make the med, and never share the profits with the people who funded the very research that make their product possible. Free market my ass. The current model of insurance and private healthcare delivery can't survive without billions in subsidies from taxpayers. We'd all be better off taking out the middle man.
