Luckily, in Japan tipping is considered an insult. It's telling servers "sorry your job sucks, here's some extra money."

@SirSpinalColumn 7 лет назад

so basically what it means everywhere. The Japanese are a proud people who dont take handouts.

@dylankun28 7 лет назад

The practice of "reikin" (fee of 1 month rent to pay on rental) is starting to become less common but mostly due to competition. All apartments will be listed as being with or without a month of "reikin" but even for the ones that do have it you can usually negotiate it away these days. It's a fee that they try to charge because they can get away with it (usually only for cheap apartments in premium locations), and it's absolutely not a social taboo to try to negotiate out of it, unlike tipping. Most Japanese I've spoken with about this will insist that if you actually paid the key money you probably just didn't negotiate hard enough. Even though the word "reikin" could be translated into something like gratuity, it is more of a euphemism they use for the fee to hide the fact that they are gouging you than an actual expected show of respect from the renter to the landlord.

@nanipappu7288 7 лет назад

I remember tipping a Cab driver in India and the guy gave me a look like "do I look like a fucking homeless guy to you?" He didn't take it saying I only take the money for the service. Well, not everyone one is like that but a lot of people take it as an insult. Nobody tips me for my work in the office.

@vintagearisen 7 лет назад

Dylan Wade when we were looking for apartments my husband (who is japanese) automatically nixxed any candidates who asked for reikin. these days on Japanese real estate websites it'll tell you if the owner demands reikin or not. thank god for the internet.

@thor10001 6 лет назад

This is true but I feel the need to add my opinion onto this specific video's topic: I actually agree with the message of this video, but the comments section is cancer and the way they deliver it is misleading. If you stop tipping there is already a law in place to keep them from being paid below minimum wage. What I hate about this is that Adam acts like nothing can be done about it. All he does in complain. If everyone stopped tipping, then the problem would be solved. How likely that is is how much someone believes in this issue. From a Google search of "tipped workers vs minimum wage avg income": "If wages and tips do not equal the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour during any week, the employer is required to increase cash wages to compensate. As of May 2017, the average hourly wage - including tips - for a restaurant employee in the United States that received tip income was $11.82."

I am Dutch but lived in the US for a year. Americans actually defended this system with the weirdest arguments. I work in the service industry at home and when I do, rarely, get tips, it actually means something and it is just a nice extra. In the states: 1. It is just literally disgusting that restaurants underpay that heavily 2. The burden is put on the guest, who has to do math and make decisions about the amount 3. The server itself has shitty money, even with the tips 4. The tips itself don't even mean shit because everyone tips over there, because it would be so 'rude' not to. So their system underpays, does not make the service better and ruins the experience of dinner at the end. Wow so great

As it stands now i make about 35$ an hour with tips not including hourly on a bad night. Theres no way a company would pay servers that much, while at smaller restaurants with cheaper menus- IE- waffle house, ihop etc etc i agree on a standard income but even in casual dining the tipping system makes the restaurants menu seem cheaper to bring in more business as well as ends with the server making more than they would have in hourly otherwise

@muggedbyapriest 9 лет назад

So glad they made this video. I always have this debate with friends. I ask why we're tipping when the restaurant should just pay fair wages and make prices higher, so we get all the same results minus the awkwardness. And my friends, who just regurgitate the same shit they grew up hearing, just reply "but they're paid entirely on tip!" and once again ignore the crux of the argument.

@ZNA_Productions 9 лет назад

muggedbyapriest With respect, you may be the one missing the argument. While the service industry "should" pay them a real wage, they don't, so we tip as one human helping another. Not tipping doesn't hurt the service industry, so it's not exactly much of a protest against them either. It only hurts the server. If someone has a problem with tipping, they should probably take it up with the higher-ups, but simply refusing to tip solves nothing and only hurts the server.

@muggedbyapriest 9 лет назад

With equal respect, I didn't miss the argument. It seems that you're assuming that I don't tip, which I never said. I always tip, and I always tip well, because that's the custom in America, whether or not I agree with it. Which, the video stated, which is why I didn't expressly have to say "I tip but..." Again, I'm saying that this system is really shitty, but nowhere in that argument is it implicit that I wouldn't tip.

@RJLiams 9 лет назад

Because Americans don't like higher prices. When he said why doesn't restaurants pay their employees more and jack up the food price? Well let me ask you this. Two pizza places have similar tasting foods with the same service. However, one large 14" meat lovers at one place is $20 and the other sells it for $10. The one that sells it for $10 pays its servers less. Where do you think people are going to go? Obviously pizza place #2. They'd rather buy a $10 pizza and give a $3 tip then spend $7 more dollars on a pizza that isn't any better. Less prices, more customers. More customers, more money. The only way to do away with tipping all together is to show the restaurant owners that you don't mind pay more than what you're use to. Show them that their wallets are safe if they decide to raise the food prices. However, like I said before Americans will not go for it. They want their cake and eat it too. They don't want to tip and they want cheap prices for food.

@JaguarFiend 9 лет назад

+Lea Tuthill Wrong, most drivers are NOT paid minimum wage. They are tipped employees and can make as little as half of minimum wage. So basically the same story as featured in the video.

@MissNayNay 9 лет назад

+SpraxIAKS Exactly! Delivery drivers are the exception because 1. You have the option to either pick up the food yourself or have it delivered. 2. Sometimes delivery drivers drive in pretty fucked up and dangerous weather, like when I had a pizza delivery guy come deliver me pizza during one of the most horrible thunderstorms. I'm talking high winds, heavy rain full, and dark skies with heavy lightning (in the middle of the afternoon), and thunder so loud and scary it'd wake the dead. And yes, I gave him a really good tip. And as a bonus, some of those delivery driver risked getting held up and robbed. I mean, it's one thing when you're in a restaurant full of people, but it's another when you are delivering food all by yourself to a stranger's house or business. They know you have money on you, and some assholes think that it's a great time to hold them up and take all their money. So it can be risky. So yeah, they are definitely the exception. Don't mind tipping them. Everyone else? Bleh!

@JaguarFiend 9 лет назад

***** Are you talking to me about writing in caps? I am presently a delivery driver in Ohio and make less than minimum wage. It's nowhere near $2 an hour--I don't know how that's even legally possible still or feasible to get by on but yeah, not minimum wage. So I don't know what you "know and have experienced" but sounds like you've got a nice job if you're delivering for even minimum wage.

@redpunk 9 лет назад

+JaguarFiend It's legal because economics is a back-asswards pseudo-science where you pretend that you have money which you haven't actually earned. That means that your employer can pay you less than $2/hr as long as they file the proper paperwork to convince the gummint that you'll make something equivalent to minimum wage after tips.

@JaguarFiend 9 лет назад

+knupder It's true. This is a slippery slope thing because most people don't report their cash tips (since taxes wreck you so much). The problem then too is that even if I manage to make minimum wage that is still really bad. I'm using my own car and burning my own gas, so I need to make a bunch more than min wage for it to be worth it. The job is very unreliable and inconsistent. Sometimes it can be really well-paying but other times it can be really poor...

@martineyles Год назад

"Tip on the tax" reveals that you have double the problem. The restaurant lies to you twice, because they don't include the waiters' wages or the taxes, so you have to add both on. The price on the menu should be all inclusive - the actual amount you pay including the taxes.

@Mortebianca 8 лет назад

In Mexico usually is the same in regular restaurants, you left the change after payment. But in the fancy ones [even if they are not THAT fancy] they charge the tip on the bill. You have to be extra careful because sometimes they don't tell you and end paying double tip. Still, is supposed to be optional, but in some places is becoming an obligation [in Mexico City this is rater common, so be careful]. Funny story. In a local buffet that usually charges "optionally" 10% extra for tips, a couple let just few coins.

@NoNameC68 8 лет назад

***** If a server doesn't make min. wage with the 2.50 an hour plus tips, then the employer has to pay them until they meet min. wage. Usually, employers don't have to do that, at least not while the restaurant is busy. Usually, the employees are busy making much more than min. wage. So, actually, tipping is better for the servers.

There is a small movement in the restaurant industry to change this, and if I ever open my own business, I will be joining that movement. The other factor that you don't take into account is that even for people who do tip based on service, that is often the end of the story. Management almost never finds out how people are tipping particular servers, and sometimes, bad service comes from other areas, like the kitchen, that get blamed on servers and they get punished for it. By replacing tipping with a comment card (or similar mechanism-each place can do what's best for themself), all feedback gets back to management, who follows up with the people who are actually responsible, good or bad, and they can take corrective action if necessary. Plus, it means all employees get a fair paycheck at the end of their shift, without relying on whether their guests got the expensive meal with drinks and multiple courses, or the really cheap meal Can you tell I'm passionate about this?

First off, what's with all the f-ing Australians on this thread!?! Secondly, you people are simpletons. You have no idea how economy and private business works. If we dropped tipping, even more restaurants would close than already do. If you adopted tipping, more restaurants would succeed. Additionally, what many of you fail to understand, is that aside from the bitchy Millennials on this thread, most good people, good Americans, actually really like to tip, especially good servers. We know that money is going to the server, that we're taking care of that person who took care of us, and not to a greedy restaurateur. You may not understand that in socialist countries, where you're taught to penny pinch because of absurd taxation, and only think about what your country should do for you, give you for free, rather than how you can serve your community. Finally, bad servers make no money, and so they go away.

Why should I tip you for cooking the food I just paid for and drove over to pick up myself? And my absolute favorite is when I've gotten supremely bad service from a waiter or waitress...like long wait in an empty restaurant, food was cold, didn't have a knife, sort of service...why the hell would I ever tip for that? If the tip is supposedly for doing your job, even at a basic level, and that hasn't been done, why the hell would I tip? I totally agree with the statement in this video that restaurants should pay their own staff. Why must I be made to feel guilty because you don't get paid when I am not the one who hired or employees you. I just want to friggin' eat some dinner and enjoy my company.

@joeswharta5001 9 лет назад

*I totally agree with the statement in this video that restaurants should pay their own staff.* You have no business sense. Restaurants don't print money, If they would need to pay the waitstaff more, they'd have to charge you more. *I just want to friggin' eat some dinner and enjoy my company.* Sure. Put your own bennie weenies in the microwave.

@Banyo__ 9 лет назад

Joe Swharta Joe, all employers should pay their own employees. Like the video intimates, you don't go shopping for jeans and pay anything extra aside from tax because the stores employers are actually paying them at least minimum wage. And yes, I do want to eat dinner which I'm paying for already by the way, and enjoy the company I came with. I don't see why on earth you seem to have found some kind of fault with any of my statements. The tipping system is not a system at all. Even if on some magical night, everyone managed to tip their waiters, not everyone tips enough to cover the extra pay that waiters do not receive. Also if tipping were actually based on service given, aka, how well one manages to do even the basics of service, aka, their job, again, not everyone would be paid equally. How is this fair to the very people that work in this industry. There is no regulation and so some very hard and deserving workers still go home with nothing, and some very crappy workers, go home with tips. How does that make sense.

@joeswharta5001 9 лет назад

*There is no regulation and so some very hard and deserving workers still go home with nothing, and some very crappy workers, go home with tips. How does that make sense.* Here is how that makes sense. No thinking person is going to work and not be compensated. Your hypothetical doesn't exist. If a server at a restaurant is going to make $50K a year, you're just going to have to pay more for your food when you eat out. That's it. Bottom line. Simple economics.

@Banyo__ 9 лет назад

Joe Swharta I don't know why you have some sort of issue with all that I've said. Workers in the U.S. SHOULD be paid at least the bare minimum, which is minimum wage. The servers aren't getting that and if someone doesn't tip which happens often. They can't make up the difference unless they work somewhere else or have additional income How does that help them? My original comment is all about not tipping for crap service and the take-out example. I have a job in which I'm paid. I don't get paid to come in and do nothing. If a server can't do the bare minimum and there is no obvious reason why not, why should I tip for crap service? What other part of life is that acceptable that you pay someone for doing a crap job? And of course you would have to pay more if restaurants had to pay employees a living wage. I was never arguing that point. That was clearly stated in the video, and I am fine with that. I really am. Bottom line is in the current system we have, I will continue to tip servers who do their job, and tip really well to those that go above and beyond, but if you're crap, I'm not tipping just for the hell of tipping because it isn't, nor has it ever been, my job to secure the livelihood of a server if these employees don't work for me personally. I'm not their boss. Service is a choice and if being a server sucks, and you can't pay your bills, there are jobs that pay their employees at least minimum wage. There is nothing saying they have to stay in a server position. Nothing.

Stop comparing Europe and Japan to the US. People eat out less there and its much more expensive.

@HoangNguyen-rg9ob 8 лет назад

+K20EF8 Is it too hard for you to understand others' points? Let me list them down: 1. Since when I said the restaurant should have "switched over to a non tipping system,lol"? What I complained about is their tipping CULTURE. I was a waiter and tips definitely help me a lot, same goes with every other waiter in my country. However, we never call our customers "assholes" or "cheapstakes" if they don't tip us. Once again, it's because we believe tipping is not something the customer HAVE TO DO. 2. "this time you wont have a choice.. shitty service.. too bad". Then I won't come to that restaurant, isn't it obvious? Once again, it's your loss if your service is shitty. You're talking as if customers would definitely still want to come to such restaurant, isn't that just dandy? 3. Well, in my country, the restaurant owners HAVE to pay 2-3 times the wage in those holidays, not "getting paid the same".Welp, once again, it's the owners' duty. 3. If you've chosen to open a business, be ready be criticised when something bad affects the customers, they will complain. Know what, every kind of business out there have it hard too. But let's be honest, does it mean you have any rights to have a hostile attitude towards the customers? Is it the customers' fault for eating "less out there"? Once again, if you can't pay for the expenses to open the restaurant, don't do it.And if you still open it and want to cut the expenses by paying the waiter less which leads to a hostile tipping culture, you must be ready to be criticised.

So being that the server can make or ruin a meal by the level of service and attention they pay to you that level can very greatly. If for instance you have to constantly search out your server to get their attention to refill a drink or to get the bill or even to compliment the chef. Then you feel that they should be paid the same as the other serving staff. This kind of skirting your responsibility in a restaurant environment is easy to go unnoticed by management durring a busy evening. If your wait staff ignores you then it can literally ruin a nice meal . Ive been in a restaurant where I observed my waitress standing at the kitchen door the whole time talking to other staff. We didnt even get our drinks until 45 minutes after we sat down. Then 30 minutes after that she finally took our order. There were 8 waiters on staff and 5 customers seated. So I wrote on a napkin " No tip for shitty service" on the way out. But another time I was having a very emotional conversation with my date and it was an enjoyable evening. The waitress saw this as they were closing and stacking chairs. She never bothered us to leave just stopped her manager from disturbing us. We were the last ones to leave. Best date I've ever had in my life. The waitress got $100 tip on a $65 bill. Because she went above and beyond her job requirements to make my evening go well. I have been to europe over 15 times. I have had terrible service in restaurants and had to pay the same bill so the wait staff could just go on giving bad service and getting payed the same. What Im trying to say is there is alot of variations in serving a table. Its not like buying merchandise where there are certain set expectations. If you require more attention at your table for order changes or added drinks as the meal goes on its a skill to have an observant waitress or waiter to watch the table and anticipate the need of the customer before they have to come track you down. Saying all wait staff should be payed hourly wage no matter how bad or good they do that night is like saying all paintings or sculptures should cost the same. Dont try saying then complain to management. All that will get you is some added bonus in your food that you dont want.

@adamstringer7092 8 лет назад

Some restaurants here in Britain include a service charge which kind of works in the same way as a tip but it's on the bill, I'm not sure if you have to pay it or not.

@iranicus 8 лет назад

+Adam Stringer it's called a granularity, some places add it on the bill automatically and you don't find out till you have your receipt, other places allow you to add it on top yourself.

@Scriptedviolince 8 лет назад

+Adam Stringer Basically. It's a system left over from the days of the great depression when basically nobody had anything and the restaurants couldn't even pay their employees. They could either pay well and then go bankrupt and close down in a week leaving restaurants to go extinct or they can rely on the charity of their customers to help offset a little bit since if you were eating at a restaurant during the great depression, odds are, you had some cash to spare. The system is basically fixed though. Normally waiters are only paid 2.5 bucks an hour and are expected to make it up in tips but even if they don't, their employer is legally required to make up the difference until their total pay comes out to 7.25 dollars an hour. Still tip though at least if you're in the city, because at the cost of living in a major city, 7.25 dollars an hour will buy you pity and essentially nothing else.

Canada is like america too, and even worst... after government realised waiters were making a very good living without paying a single dime of taxes they tought it was really unfair for others and wanted to get that extra money. In fact it was true, why a person working for any other job has to pay income taxes but people with tip.. no? But since waiters/waitress (im sorry) are liars they couldn't rely on them being honest and declare what they really get so they imposed a minimum of 8% of the bill. That means if you have a 100$ bill and leave nothing, the government will still consider that the server made 8$ and will tax him on that. Now that everyone knows that, nobody wants to leave without tipping or the waiter will be paying for serving you, so now waiters all take tip for granted and everyone feel forced to give it no matter the service quality, so now we are pretty much screwed as tip is not to get a better service at all but just a forced fee that pisses off everyone.

@angrybird7324 8 лет назад

The typical person would say "but then waiters will give a better service if they don't want to be paying for serving you" nah that would be thinking people are carebears and we live on rainbows... nope what waiter think is "HA! they know they are forced to tip now nanananan fek you" and that's a true story.

@PinkBeanCake 9 лет назад

Tipping should be banned. It's just a vicious cycle. If you personally want to tip because the server went above and beyond, cool. No one is stopping you. But the fact that many servers don't do anything and will actually give you attitude even if you just leave 10% is ridiculous. Some people here are saying that "you shouldn't eat out" or "you'll just expect crap service", etc. That's the restaurant owner's fault. If you provide terrible service, there will be complaints to the manager, and you'll just fired. It's as simple as that. Servers are replaceable (in a heart beat) and an entry level job, whether you're working at a fancy restaurant or not. Good service is what keeps your job. If you don't like you're job because you feel like you don't get paid enough, that's not the customers problem. That's the job of your employer and your choice. If the restaurant owner decides to increase server's wage and make a cut on the number of employees, which may result in a burnout = slow/bad service, again only the restaurant owner will suffer. I know some servers speak as though they are entitled to tips. As health care providers, I don't see us getting tipped for doing a full bed bad for patients or taking the time to reposition them. And I'm not complaining either because it's our job to do so, we chose this. If we felt like we weren't getting paid enough for our job, we would just quit.

Tipping is one big psychological game in a way, if you're in a group none of you want to make yourselves look bad so you tip. And in general at a restaurant you met face to face with a person who you know is expecting tips (in the US at least) so you not giving it is supposed to make you feel guilty, especially if the service was warm and friendly. I hardly feel comfortable going to sit in restaurants bc of this, I've always struggled with money so I just view restaurants and bars as places where you are overpaying for everything. But if I stay being a person who doesn't frequent restaurants and bars because I don't think overpaying at these establishments should stay the norm, that makes me a social outcast in a way.

If you're saying that to give a waiter a liveable wage would cost SO MUCH MORE than the tip would that it would be ridiculous for the customers, then you're admitting this system is SO BROKEN that waiters are given SO LITTLE to live on that even you would not tolerate the exact corollary to their circumstance happening to you as a customer. That's a tacit admission of the absolute nonsensical nature of your own position.

Tipping is indeed horrible. Not mentioned in this video is the fact that not only do some servers only make around min wage due to low tips, but in certain restaurants (mainly those who focus on pricey dinners) they make $20-30/hr.. around 2-3x what the people cooking the food make. This causes animosity between different sections of a restaurant, and promotes an air of self-importance among servers. You rarely find servers going out of their way to help other areas of a restaurant, however the atmosphere in the "back of the house" is often much more supportive. Getting paid a solid wage where everyone makes a similar amount with minor alterations due to effort and seniority encourages camaraderie and teamwork.

@Arkylie 9 лет назад

Now that we don't have smoking/non-smoking sections anymore, why not convert the restaurant to chatting/non-chatting... or whatever terms would indicate whether or not you wanted the waiter to make polite conversation with you or just leave you alone unless called for? Extravert/Introvert sections maybe? Though a mixed party would need to figure out which behavior they valued more, and the minority in the party would just have to put up with it.

@Arkylie 9 лет назад

You can be a perfectly wonderful person who loves the whole human race and still be an introvert who doesn't want to CHAT with the whole human race. If you go to a hair salon, it's become the norm that while the hairdresser is messing with your hair, she chats with you (generally a place to unload some of the things that have been bothering you, really). But most services aren't the chatty sort. If you're checking out at a store, for example, you want "Did you find everything you were looking for?" which is a perfectly useful question to help the customer figure out what's going on (and can entice more polite, less fussy customers into saying that they really wanted to find XYZ, when they were just going to put up with it instead of mentioning it). Extraverts want more interaction than this. Maybe they want to strike up a little conversation about the weather and the local sports team and some international news or whatever, I don't know, but extraverts enjoy longer and more complex conversations with total strangers. Introverts tend to want to keep their interactions to a minimum unless they get to know the person better. And you're not going to get to know the clerk or the postal worker or the waitress unless you happen to go to that shop a lot. Just having them try to chat about things not related to their work can interfere with a line of thought the introvert was mulling over; it's irritating. So it's not that I want to see the French Ninja Waiter school of restaurant design, where you don't see any other human being during your whole dining experience. But certainly different people have different desires when it comes to how much optional interaction takes place. And the more unnecessary chat that happens, the more time and attention it takes up, and the more it winds down the introvert's batteries. In other words, it makes the outing less pleasurable, not more. Why would you want restaurants to make you uncomfortable when they don't have to?

In France, there's no obligated tipping. Waiters have a fixed income and minimum wages (and also have to declare tips for taxes). But usually you give tip when the service is good and the waiter is polite and nice. Note that your service will be good if you're polite with the waiter. This begins by not calling him "waiter" but "sir". Then you will have to over-thank him during all the meal, sending your congratulations to the chef, and compliment to his wife for choising such beautiful paper napkins. If you flatter him enough, maybe he won't spit in your coffee.

@MrPapayouki 9 лет назад

Detallado No kidding. I am french (and sometimes sorry to be). I confess this is more true in Paris. In small towns you will find nicer people. You can search on youtube " Quand deux touristes chinoises testent l'amabilité d'un garçon de café à Paris" It is an hidden camera with 2 chinese tourists in Paris and a waiter. And some will also teach you politeness. Search for "un café s'il vous plait 7" on google images. You will find the menu : (translation) "a coffee : 7€ a coffee please : 4.25€ Good morning, a coffee please : 1.4€"

And service does matter, if you are happy and the waiter is nice, then he can be tipped around 10 or more euros (if lucky)

Another reason to remove it is because some customers will actually try to tip the staff that work in places where tipping is not allowed and they have to tell them "Im so sorry, but I can't accept that, but thank you anyways" and sometimes it can feel awkward for the staff and/or the customer

@rhino015 7 лет назад

I'm right wing and Australian and over here we believe in a single payer healthcare system. We also don't tip. And this approach is superior on both counts IMO. People working as waiters make minimum $20 an hour here and no tips. Many would earn more, in more flashy restaurants. Everyone wins. More fair on everyone as well. If they're crap at waiting tables they just get fewer and fewer shifts until they're phased out and replaced. Service is good, but hit and miss sometimes as with anywhere. Students working these jobs have a stable reliable income they can count on and budget for. We also rarely use cash these days, so you can't really tip someone unless they carry a card machine with them everywhere. It'd be possible at a restaurant by adding it to the bill and paying on card, but pizza delivery drivers couldn't get tipped because nobody has cash and we always pay via paypal when we order online for pizzas here. You obviously couldn't tip hotel staff who carry your bags for the same reason, nobody carries a card machine in their pocket lol. I think the decline of cash will see the US come around to the way of the rest of the world with tipping. It's just impractical if nobody carries cash anymore. We also have all taxes included on the listed price of everything across the board. And no tips, so if you buy something with a price of $x, then that's exactly what you pay. So much more efficient.

@asillynertasillynert2204 7 лет назад

People miss a couple big things with the single payer. I am not saying either approach is "perfect" but there are so many negatives to both sides and yet we only talk about how terrible america's system is and ignore issues about things were using to replace it. Take for example obamacare I know many people screwed by I have alot of friends in healthcare industry. And disabled sick kids were losing large chunks of benefits. To cover the medicaid expansion, hospitals were having all sorts of issues. Alot of licensed (cheaper) alternative's like phlebotomist were phased out and out of job permanently until they either started at bottom min wage job or got a new degree. Because medicaid compliance in the state required hospital to use RN's to draw blood. This increased price of rn's and so so many other things. Despite these cut backs due to federally mandated medicaid expansion. States that complied (it was a very cruel trick by administration feds are forbade from touching medicaid money (it is the states) but in order to get federal subidys they had to "opt in" to the changes. The ones that opted in are running a deficit on their medicaid the ones that did not are seeing other problems in exchanges because the didn't get grant money. So comes the existence tax the biggest reason I am utterly disgusted with obamacare most taxes require owning/earning/purchasing or some form of activity in the economy to be taxed. Obamacare introduced first "head" tax aka you exist pay us money.Their is a gap where your too poor to afford insurance too rich to get any help. By rich I mean ok maybe your putting 10% towards savings or retirement your doing slightly better than living hand to mouth. These people fall into the twice screwed category because due to changes brought on from obamacare they lost employer provided healthcare. As good employer plans would be penalized with a tax that essentially doubled their payroll taxes.

@rhino015 7 лет назад

asillynert asillynert being Australian and not having researched in detail, I don't think I have enough understanding to your level of detail to really contribute to a proper discussion on the intricacies of the US system and changes to it. I was mainly interested in the tipping discussion tbh. What do you think about the tipping? It does seem that our health care system in Australia works a bit better than it does in most other places. I reckon it comes down to mostly having it as a government service generally working better so long as it's run reasonably well. But where many go wrong is just having it open slather for abuse either way. A big problem seems to be people being hypochondriacs and doing things far more expensively than necessary. It seems like waiting times are worse in the UK and Canada. So I think in many circumstances, having the user need to pay something for treatment can set up the correct incentives to keep costs lower. Of course this is ideally subsidised so that people don't generally find themselves unable to get treatment. Emergency stuff here is always free for anyone. There are also private hospitals that can do non-emergency stuff (they also have an emergency dept but it's also free and govt funded) under private health cover with a shorter waiting list. And you can choose the level of cover that u want so that maybe if you're rich you might get stuff done sooner, but nobody will die or lose a limb due to their financial situation. Of course nothing ever works out perfectly, but I think our system has these key things roughly in balance. Other problems like general hospital management are always a problem regardless. We also have "walk in centres" here now that treat ppl with nurses for minor injuries and illnesses. Free for anyone. And this keeps them out of the hospital where they're going to wait hours and end up seeing a dr that costs more etc. better for everyone this way. And GP visits are subsidised and often free depending on the dr and other factors as well. I think this makes a big difference. Instead of ppl going to emergency with a headache, there are many other places they can go, spreading the load and putting them in cheaper faster care.

@rhino015 7 лет назад

We also get screwed here for falling in the middle class sort of circumstance. Not so much with health care, but taxes. Because we have welfare that stretches to include people working full time jobs (not even minimum wage ppl. It spreads a fair way up) we have a lot of people who do pay tax, but they get at least as much back in welfare payments as they pay in tax. So that leaves only the people in the middle actually paying net tax overall. Supporting everyone else. And there are far fewer services for people in my demographic as well. My demographic just pays out tax and doesn't get much back, while the majority leach off me lol. Unsustainably so, because we have an ageing population. I'll probably retire at 80 lol
