So there's no room for improvement then? Because I really don't think it's as accessible as other nations and your ability to heal shouldn't depend on your job.
Meanwhile we've reached past global resource tipping points, yet there are still people who believe we can manage a post scarcity society.
Idealism will be the death of us all.
Nowhere did I ever say anything like that. Not once did I say "the American healthcare system is perfect" or great or even good.
What I said already is still there where I said it before. Please do not make up your own interpretations of my words, because you cannot speak for me.
You really don't know what you're talking about. I'm the one who lives in the USA and have been going to doctors for multiple decades, through times of poverty and financial well-being. I have experienced all perspectives on this issue personally. I'm here to tell you that even the people with no money do have access to healthcare. I know lots of people who have medical problems and go to the doctor all the time, and these are not rich folks, these are people whose families live on less than 50k a year.
All normal people go to the doctor regularly as needed in the USA. We are not starving for healthcare, we have it and we get it.
