Ah yes, the classic dismissal because they claim someone can’t know something if they don’t live there, so they can issue a BLANKET no one can afford it.
There’s was 25.3 million uninsured people in the USA in 2023 but you’re so confident that none of them could ever afford a $2400 treatment.
In 2023, of the total uninsured population ages 0 to 64, nearly three in four (73.7%) had at least one full-time worker in their family, and 11.2% had a part-time worker in their family (Figure 4). More than eight in ten (80.9%) uninsured people were in families with incomes below 400% of the federal poverty level
Emphasis mine.
You know what that means? 2/10 had over 400% of the minimum poverty level.
For a single person that would be: $63,840. (5,320/m)
For a couple with no kids, that would be: $86,560 (7213/m)
You don’t think that maybe, these 2/10 people out of 10’s of millions could possibly afford it if needed?
over eight in ten (84%) uninsured adults said they worried that health care costs would put them in debt or increase their existing debt, compared to 71% of adults with insurance (Figure 10).
Hmm interesting, 16% seem to think they could afford something if needed? It seems to line up closely with that 2/10 earning over 400% as well.
That’s more people than many countries have, and more people than many of any given US state.
Like I had around a 1/5 chance of providing useful info to OP when I replied based off this.
You don’t live here so you have no idea what you are talking about. Being uninsured in the US is absolutely insane.
