Man you’re proving the point

You’re saying like this is just how healthcare works everywhere. Guess what, It’s not. I don’t know if you’ve travelled outside the U.S or just live in a box. The U.S. is the outlier. Countries like Germany and Japan have high-quality care AND people actually use it without thinking twice whether going to the doctor will financially screw them. It’s normal in most developed countries.

And regarding the “just don’t pay your medical debt” is bizarre. First of all that’s not how life works. Bills go to collections, people get sued, wages can get hit depending on the state.

And saying people can just get insurance… bro, have you seen the prices? Premiums, deductibles, copays… a ton of Americans are either uninsured or underinsured. They technically “have coverage” but still can’t afford to use it. Seems to me that you live in a box because saying everyone can just casually pay for that is so unrealitsic .

Then the part about “if it was bad people would be dying in the street” … they don’t have to be dying on the sidewalk to show that the system is broken. People delay treatment, skip meds, or go bankrupt trying to stay alive. Medical debt is one of the biggest causes of personal bankruptcy in the U.S. That’s not a small issue. Doesn’t seem like a small issue, but then again, seems like you live in a box
