But what if they abuse it by being like...sick?
This is going to be terrible for the shareholders and the health insurance companies!
You joke, but people overusing the free Healthcare is a problem.
I have a few friends/family working on both social security and state hospitals (the free healthcare mentioned in the article). There are a lot of users who are not sick and still go religiously to get appointments or try to hoard medicine. It's not a huge issue in the big picture but they do end up taking the limited time and resources from people who actually need it at the time.
The staff at the hospital knows them but they get the same attention as everyone, in case it is actually real this time.
I don't see how that's an argument for not doing this.
It's not, at all. Like I said, not really an issue. It's mostly that your joke reminded me of the situation than anything else
