A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Congratulations, you just figured out how healthcare works in the rest of developed countries

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 31 points 6 months ago

Yup. Everything is better when everyone is doing better. It’s weirdly simple.

And also in some of the non developed countries (Cuba, Brazil)

"Cuba is such a shit hole."

Consistently has some of the best doctors. Also, healthcare workers from Kenya? Some of the best in the world.

I'm just speaking from personal experience. If I was given adequate health care 20 years earlier there is no telling how different my life may have been. Instead I had to achieve impossible feats to get insurance which then made those seemingly impossible things trivial.

Its so weird living in a country where healthcare is a right, and seeing how E everyone in USA is against public healthcare until their insurance stops covering expenses.
