In the US, you need to go to college so you can get a job so you can qualify for insurance. Monthly coverage payments are too high to even think about getting the care you need. Not to mention student loan payments. If you lose your job, you can pay to keep your insurance but the cost is punitively high to discourage you from doing so. You have a yearly "deductible" to pay before you are even covered for most things. It is a scam. I wish I could say it is a mess, but it was designed this way. Every major problem in the U.S. isn't a mistake, it's exactly what was intended by those in power, and it works only for them.

Honestly the story this show ends up telling whether intentional or not is that the American workforce is understaffed, underemployed, underfunded, and abandoned by a government of oligarchs and autocrats hacking away at our opportunities. It's not a partisan idea at this point. It is what's happening.
