Had another child 2.5yrs ago....paid $0.

Vasectomy....$0

Her tubes tied....$0.

Dental implant.,,,$0 (oooh let's not mention the jacked up root canal I didn't need that caused the lost tooth....but also $0)

Good education benefits: Got my student loans paid off. Working on a free masters degree. I have 32mo of free tuition, room/board to split between the two kids. Countless other benefits.

But, Military Life isn't for everyone and I've been EXTREMELY lucky as far as deployment or overseas assignments. Hopefully we don't start anther war in the next 10yrs.

I'm very blessed.

I couldn’t do what you do, but those are amazing benefits. A pension is very rare these days as well. You are lucky, but deserve it for serving the country.

This. Very much like the Scandinavian system that Democrats love to cite, a homogenous society can operate with much more cooperation and true concern for your 'others'. That all is now falling apart however, with decades of importing immigrants into the system.

If Democrats really want better social systems, stop letting millions of poor people into the country. But, they can't secure infinite power if they don't have the 20-30 million new voters that they are seeking amnesty for.

Absolutely everything is better in Japan.

Yes. /thread

For all the Americans watching the Tokyo Olympics or actually in Tokyo itself, I am sure it will shock you to learn of the extremely low cost of healthcare in Japan because costs are negotiated by the government with very low co-pays. What's more, Japan spends a much smaller percentage of GDP on healthcare than Americans do.

For example, the costs of a simple MRI in the US in 2009 could be $1500 but only costs $98 in Japan. This means that Japanese athletes have a big advantage over American athletes because they are not bankrupted when they get injuries and are free to train harder and push through limits (although I don't think the Japanese are taking as much PEDs as the American ones).

Ha ha. Do does Canada. Why. Why why do their wealthy elites come here if they get really sick? Focus on Climate change.

They will ignore this, but it is true.

Why do foreigners living in America wait to return to their home countries to get healthcare?

We have friends in America who both returned to their home countries to have their children. And they were both INSURED.

My gf in San Francisco returned to Thailand for a procedure.

Why does everyone who lives in america leave america to get healthcare in their home country...

Umm. No boi. Not true. At all.
