    How do you think it works on other countries?
    I also work for health coverage - but not only for mine and others work for mine as well, if I can’t work because of health issues.
    That’s good insurance works - just that this is a mandatory insurance and everyone who works pays into it

    But I get what you mean, that it’s easier to control employees the US way, because your always on your own…

      in the UK everyone is guaranteed health care. it’s not conditional on any employment. many countries offer similar care to their citizens and even visitors.

      you never have to sit up at night railing against your boss’s harassment because your kid needs healthcare and you can’t quit.

        Yeah, I didn’t say otherwise - at least I didn’t try to

        But the people working health care and the buildings, medicine etc needs to be paid for.
        And this happens due to a insurance, every one who is working pays into.
        That way it was always easier for me to explain US Americans how the health care can be free for the individual.
