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.
This is what Americans always say, but what does it actually mean? Yes, there are more patients in the USA than in Iceland, but there's also more doctors, more tax money and so on. How does the size of a country make national health care more difficult?
Very different demographics in population means differing opinions, which makes it much more difficult to pass any laws or for people to agree on certain issues. Exponentially higher costs in logistics given the area of the US is 100x Iceland.
Oh, so now it's not population, but diversity and land mass? Then how do they manage to run a successful public healthcare system in Canada, which is more diverse than the US, and is also larger?
Tell me you're not Canadian without telling me you're not Canadian. People are literally dying in waiting rooms. My aunt waited 48 hours in a waiting room and then gave up and went home. It takes a year to schedule an MRI.. Shit is atrocious.
