When even the rich live in constant fear of going bankrupt after a single visit to a hospital, that tends to happen
I'm not rich and I go to the doctor for any healthcare needs that I have, in America. If you are neglecting your health because of fear of doctor bills, you should not do that. The healthcare system is overpriced but it's not so overpriced that you should neglect your health.
If you have normal health insurance it should be affordable, and it always has been for everyone I've known. Even my family members who've had extensive surgeries that were life or death matters got their medical care, and the bills did not bankrupt anyone.
Most Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. They literally cannot afford medical care at all.
I have afforded a minor surgery. Your family members have afforded multiple surgeries. We are privileged.
I guess all the hospitals must be going broke then, since "most Americans" "literally cannot afford medical care at all" right? That would leave them with very few customers to pay medical bills if most Americans can't afford medical care at all.
