you have no idea what you talk about... maybe in your New York hood cheap young girls=crackwhores :-)

I dare you to find Angus beef steak for 10 bucks in your Czech republic. LOL. :1orglaugh Make us all jealous with your bratwurst and mashed potatoes, son :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

and that Frenchie doesnt know shit about tax optimization ?:winkwink::winkwink:
yet, still... no connection whatsoever with PRIVATE health care...
even if ->>> you still pay more
if it is so wine and roses in US with healthcare and people shit money because they dont pay any tax at all - or only 20 %, why so many people go to, lets say, Mexico to get their teeth in order ?
anyway, CyberSeo says that in Russia there is 6 % tax, so I think that both of you should do some competition in another thread..or sth....
i just checked MRI price in Poland, its around 150-200 bucks, average salary ~800 bucks ->> 5 MRIs done.
2,000 for MRI in US, does average American earn 10 K month ?:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

edit: ops, just checked , MRI of whole body is around 125 USD in another clinic....
and yeah yeah...I know...the clinic is in ruins, there is a mold on walls, and there are goats running everywhere:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Seriously? WTF?

And I have never heard anyone say they are going to mexico to get their teeth fixed. I know people go to Columbia to get new tits or do minor plastic sergeries in S. Korea, but not Mexico.

probably not enough machines that make "ping", that's why its so cheap here:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orgl augh:1orglaugh


.....and putting aside the fact that this sketch is actually joke of public health service in UK :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Congrats. Here's room of people who gives a fuck how much MRI cost in Poland or Nigeria.

sure bro, do MRI of little toe and pay 400 :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I did one on my knee and paid $200 I think. Why would you do MRI on a toe? Must be a Polak thing.
Any more questions?

Yes, the steakhouse bill for lunch today was $116 and service was excellent. I tipped the waitress a full days wages for a Serb. Was that enough?


.

That's not correct actually. A flat income tax in Russia is 13% - doesn't matter if you make 3 RUB or a 1 billion a month. Only small business/individual entrepreneurs like me can use a so-called simplified tax form and pay only 6%. To do so, you just have to register in the tax inspection office. Those who don't register will still have to pay 13% of their income.

That sure sounds nice and simple.

Also we have something similar in a penalty system as well. E.g. if you have violated some traffic code and were fined by a police officer, you have to pay just a half (50%) of that money, in case if you do it within 20 days.

The U.S. tax code is more than 74,000 pages.

Ours is big as well: Russian Tax Code (taxes for regional invest projects, controlled foreign companies, law-enforcement departments/the investigating authorities, excises and blah-blah-blah). However the actual tax system is very simple for regular citizens (13%) and individual entrepreneurs/small business (6%). It's flat and easy.

If you'll get caught with a tax evasion (actually it's an extremely hard thing to prove), you will be fined for up to 20%-40% of the amount of the unpaid tax according to the article 122 of Russian Criminal Code (Google translate). Yes, Soviet Russia is a very repressive country and that's why our laws are so severe. However even with whose inhuman laws, a tax evasion is a national sport in Russia, I'm not kidding now.

More government would be the solution financially

If you factor in the average wage its much more expensive for food in CZ than the US for most people.

So for ailments that are not an emergency. I'm right.

The US on average compares much better than countries like Czech on many things. But not on the cost of Healthcare. We get far better value. Food I can't comment on.

Compare the US cost of Healthcare with any First World Nation and it's clear Americans are being ripped off. Even with Income Tax that some have to stick to in order to cling on. The end figure of what Americans pay and the rest pay shows the US Private Healthcare is a rip-off.

Income tax pays for a lot more than Healthcare. So including it is misleading.

Why Peer Nations Spend Less on Health Care but Stay Healthier. Seems it all started to change in the 80s, why?

UNITED STATES PER CAPITA HEALTHCARE SPENDING IS MORE THAN TWICE THE AVERAGE OF OTHER DEVELOPED COUNTRIES

But keep trying to pretend it's all about income taxes. It doesn't convince anyone but yourselves.

Paul, I won't be the first one to say that you are a fucking moron, so nothing personal.
Have you ever seen what people come to urgent care and emergency rooms with? Flu, dislocated thumb, knee scrapes, head bumps. Please shut the fuck up and get that jigsaw puzzle out. Thats the the only game you'd be right at. That and magic join links. Every hospital here has "uninsured patient" insurance. They get paid regardless.

Health expenditure per capita
Total health expenditure is the sum of public and private health expenditures as a ratio of total population. It covers the provision of health services (preventive and curative), family planning activities, nutrition activities, and emergency aid designated for health but does not include provision of water and sanitation.


So US government and its people spend more than those in Uganda.
US - 8K per person
Uganda - .23 cents per person
Boy those africans must be getting one hell of a value.

you dont sleep, ah ?:winkwink::winkwink::winkwink:
Cost of a Brain MRI - Consumer Information - CostHelper
"A head MRI typically costs about $1,000 -$5,000, depending on complexity of the condition being monitored, whether the procedure is performed in a hospital or a physician's office, and a patient's geographical location"
In Poland it costs 70 bucks. differences between salaries in US and Poland - let's say - 4 times.
you still get ass fucked at least 3 times (LOWEST price 1000 $/ wage diff. counted 280 $ )
but but wait...what if head MRI costs 3,000 $ and you pay that ? you get ass fucked ~12 times:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

so yeah, I wish you more head MRIs done, then maybe you will have no probs in understanding basic math.
that's all from me

the thing is: most of Czech people still eat rather healthy food (well.... ), while most of US guys - eat shitty cheap proccessed food made by monsanto.
however, you never know :winkwink::winkwink:

btw. the OP said something about "liberal hitchhikers"...

who started ?????!!!! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I can care less what brain MRI cost in Poland and if you do it with Polaroid camera or real equipment. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh My kid had 2 of them done after concussion and first one cost me under $200 and follow up was free.
Why would I give a flying fuck about Poland, Serbia or Russia? For some reason only eastern europeans are obsessed about US and how its done here. Why is that? Do you see anyone here saying "Hey, I can buy CK jeans at Sam's club for $19.99 and they cost $100 in Poland". Thats because we don't give a damn what it cost in Poland.

Oh, now you know most of US guys? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh
How healthy is your beer? How much of it do you consume on weekly basis?

I was talking about "walk-into-any-clinic-no-unsurance-at-all-pay100%" prices

stats....
usually I drink wine.......
being a person that has many obsessions - "being obsessed with US", would be really low on that list, if ever :1orglaugh:1orglaugh
just talking, dude:winkwink:

For someone who doesn't give a flying fuck you sure have posted a lot in this 7 PAGE thread:winkwink:...

A bar customer asked the bartender if he wanted to hear a Polack joke. The bartender pointed to a large man at the end of the bar and said, "He's Polish." Then the bartender pointed to a burly policeman near the door and repeated, "He's Polish." The bartender finished, "Now think about whether you want to tell that joke, because I'm Polish, too." The customer replied, "I guess I won't tell that joke after all. I'd have to explain it three times."



So in Poland you sit there at home on Saturday night, watch you local Polack soccer team suck donkey balls again, then all of a sudden you go "Shit, this is boring. How about we all go to Polack hospital and do brain MRI. Just for fucking fuck of it, we are going to walk in and demand MRI". Is this how it works? Because here you actually go to doctor first and he tells you need to do MRI. Or, you have a car incident, ambulance takes you in and then they do MRI on you. And yes, it will be free. What the hell is wrong with you?

Did you see me asking how much pair of jeans or pack of condoms cost in Poland?
Didn't think so.

you know exactly well what I'm talking about and yet, still...
"my head hurts, after talking with dumb ass people on the internet whole day" ->> "damn maybe I should visit doctor" ->>> "damn I have no insurance at all, what should I do" ->>> "let's check nearest available private doctor" ->>>>> "come in tomorrow" ->>>>> "ok doc, here is your 30 bucks for the consultation (no insurance at all), should I get MRI of head, too ? " ->>> "sure son, you should. after talking with dumb ass people on the internet, I would recommend you to do so. here is the direction for you, be there tomorrow" ->>>> "70 bucks paid, MRI done" ->>>> "oh doc, am I ok ? yeah, you ok. too strong for modern league of morons" ->>> "do I owe you something for today, doc? " ->>> "nah, you did MRI yesterday in our clinic, it's included, no worries".
total cost = 105 $
same situation in US = 2,000 $
you - ass fucked
:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Not only that, most clothing and consumer electronics are more expensive here than in the US (and that you don't have to even factor in the local wage, they're just straight up more expensive). Medicine and education have to be super cheap because most people have no disposable income :p

yeah, I know what you mean. however, with current CZK to USD rate I'm pretty sure that it aint that bad anymore (like it was few years ago). plus, you may find some good deals on electronics while buying online ;-)

This: https://gfy.com/20741550-post257.html. Even if he has a medical insurance, he can't walk from one private clinic to another and do a free or deducted MRI there ever time he wants it. On the other hand, some "poor" Serb can do it just easily. So where the first world is? Where you earn $4000 and your government and banks/corporations take most of that money (taxes, insurances, loans etc). Or where you earn only $300 but you keep it all and can afford a good food (there is no obesity problem in Serbia) and quality medicine (life expectancy in Serbia and the States is almost the same).

I dont know man, world is already enough complicated place, lets get along together :winkwink:
in diversity united we stand :winkwink::winkwink:

As an offtopic. I like the current rate of ruble. While the "1st world" dudes eat their big macs, in this particular moment I'm eating a tasty sandwich with Salmon caviar (only $2.40 for a can) :winkwink:

yeah, I also like strong dollar now....and the quality food is also not expensive where I live, you just need to know what to look for :winkwink:
however, as for the ruble situation ->> such big devaluation of currency is never healthy for economy in longer term. just wait when the prices will catch up with strong dollar...and when rub will get back to 40-50 to 1 USD...
