    What’re you talking about? I didn’t say anything about healthcare or health insurance. But I will say now, full time public school teachers do get health insurance usually

      I said it. You responded to it. I guess you responded without reading.

      And as someone with the same insurance they give to the local teachers and is thousands of dollars in medical debt over just two years, comparing that to the French healthcare system is laughable.

        What? Again. I did not say teachers get free healthcare before. Why are you so hostile? I get the impression that you either want to view anyone who disagrees with you as dumb or a villain.

        Anyways, you said:

        Cool, can I take a third of the year off here in America and still keep my job?

        Otherwise, I think I’ll take the lower pay plus all the days off and the free healthcare.

        To which I responded:

        Depends on the job, that’s what a teacher does, and the average teacher salary is double the median french salary

        Because yes, a teacher does get a third of the year off.

        And as someone with the same insurance they give to the local teachers and is thousands of dollars in medical debt over just two years, comparing that to the French healthcare system is laughable.

        $30,000 of debt? If not you still would’ve made more money than in France.

          See that “free healthcare” line you literally pasted from my post? That’s the part you didn’t respond to.

          $30,000 of debt?

          How are you not aware that there are things health insurance either doesn’t cover or doesn’t cover 100%?

          There’s also this thing you’ve apparently never heard of called a deductible.

            Correct, meaning I didn’t claim they did have it…

            How are you not aware that there are things health insurance either doesn’t cover or doesn’t cover 100%?

            What does that have to do with what I said. Also FYI, there’s a lot of things single payer systems don’t cover. One of my relatives has to travel to the US for treatment

              Travel to the U.S. from where? Treatment for what? Do you expect me to just accept that?

              By the way, you know what else a lot of the French don’t have? Student loan debt.

                What? For medical treatment not provided in her home country with a single payer system. Like I said, not all single payer systems are the same.

                Okay?

                  This is so ridiculously vague that I have no reason to believe it.

                  Also, I’m not sure why this isn’t clear to you either, but teachers in the U.S. have massive amounts of student loan debts.

                    You can believe what you want. You have no way to audit it anyways, you’re just looking for a reason to dismiss it. So there’s really no point in me bothering to explain the situation.

                    Also, I’m not sure why this isn’t clear to you either, but teachers in the U.S. have massive amounts of student loan debts.

                    Yes some teachers do and some don’t.
