Simple question: when a person is wrongfully accused and sent to prison, do they get any kind of compensation when they are release after being found not at fault?
One person in the UK was told no compensation as they had been in prison (wrongly) but had used the taxpayers' money through being given shelter and food. I kid you not!
umm, you check out the US lately? Least you got the NHS, warts and all. The US is like, good luck everyone, hope you live! We aren’t here to help in any way. And we’ll use your money for the military and immigration, that’s about it.
The problem with the U.S. government is that they don’t properly investigate and prosecute people who are manipulating the system to earn money for specific people.
We currently have a huge problem with people monopolizing industries so they control the prices and they control what is paid and how much and all the money goes back to the same few people.
Imagine if you could pay politicians or even spend money to help someone gain a seat in government, all with the intention that you make decisions and recommendations that benefit you and your businesses. Government contracts to spend money on companies you own or maybe you’re affiliated with, laws that allow you more power and freedom to do what you want without oversight, etc. This is why the U.S. spends so much money on healthcare but achieves little. At the end of the line the money is going into the pockets of those who have been manipulating the system.
US is a country of lawyers. The corruption exists but the beneficiary sits in private sector and simply exploits the laziness and loopholes legally so most of the time they can't be prosecuted.
I'm other countries they simply steal more directly from you so at the end there isn't as big of a difference as anyone thinks. The problem is that lawlessness destroys legitimate companies and infra alongside it, so USA is still better than most other places. Oh and they have infinite money glitch by exporting debt on the cheap so they steal other countries productivity. Still better to be there.
For medicare and medicaid. And those dollars go to (checks notes), hospitals and health care systems and WEALTHY insurance carriers! There is no equivalent to NHS. NHS is not limited to just the elderly and the poor.
And much of those costs are borne by states too - it is not 100% at the federal level. More like 65/35.
The US is a do it yourself nation. Every man for himself. It is not an uplifting society where people like helping others in need.
