Honestly I don't see how it could be LOWER. I have a very dim view of the US Healthcare system, particularly where insurance companies are concerned.
Why do the surgery that only has a 93% chance of success that will give the person use of their legs, that costs $250,000 when a $300 wheelchair will get them from A to B.
Given that I have had to wait MONTHS for an appointment before, and my primary care Dr I have to schedule 2 months in advance, when people complain that they'll have to wait longer than a week to see a doctor I wonder who they fucked over to get Healthcare that quickly.
Hamas represents all Palestinians the way Israel and the IDF represent all jews.

Guess which button they press....
That's because people don't pay attention. There have been several times over the last few years where I see a story of IDF leveling an apartment block or executing a group of people, it's always hand-waved as "they were terrorists, trust me Bro I'm looking at the evidence that I can't show you for security reasons"
And the world turns.
Days later one of the victims sorry TERRORISTS stabs an IDF soldier on the street? PROOF THAT ALL PALESTINIANS ARE TERRORISTS is the gist of every news outlet.
When you move into your neighbors pool house, don't be surprised when they chase you around with a baseball bat.
Yes, it IS unfortunate that civilians get caught in the crossfire. But when one side started by targeting civilians, it's not as simple as "these guys are terrorists and the people who fight them are inherently good" like a shitload of people are trying to make it out to be.
gestures wildly at the world ARE YOU FUCKING BLIND?
What a long winded way to say "I am a piece of shit who likes to see others suffer, because feel I am superior."
Either you stand to unfairly gain from the current system, or you're an idiot who not only listens to companies like Walmart tell you about "welfare queens" but buys it hook line and sinker.
Or you're a troll, I guess.
Because if you think what you pay in premiums is less than what you'd pay with properly managed universal healthcare, you're simply stupid. Not ignorant, stupid. Unable or unwilling to learn.
Next you'll tell me ALL tea is sweet tea!
Yeah, that's honestly what I've always figured. Gotta have Israel around as a shape and name on a map, otherwise sky daddy can't come home.
Did my union I joined when I got the job get me 15% more than the others already working there?
No.
Did I immediately get a little over 15% compared to similar job listing's in the area, AND more than 18% more than my previous job?
Yes.
Idk, the ones who decided they didn't like the borders they agreed to so they took it and started bombing schools, apartments, parks, and the like as "defending our land" when the locals pushed back seem pretty equal here.
ANECDOTE TIME!
When I was in highschool, I got dragged out of the back seat of a car with 5 of my friends, laid face down on the asphalt inches from the lane marker, and they proceeded to rip out EVERYTHING from my friend's mother's minivan. When they started pulling people, oen friend sent an SOS text to his parents.
When they found nothing because the only illegal thing anyone was planning to do was underage drinking like 6 hours from then, they proceeded to LITERALLY begin ripping the car to shreds. Broken plastic panels "these are easy to remove, they could be hiding shit in there" and ripped upholstery "that loose seam means they hid it in the seats" and even began removing the bumper.
Then the friends dad, who at the time was a legal aid, now lawyer, pulled up and began theCALMEST dressing-down I've ever seen from someone who is seething with rage.
Popped up, got out of the car with his hands out to the side, immediately identified himself as "their legal representative" and began reciting all the laws the cops were breaking, since they never had probable cause to begin with beyond "hey there's teens in that car" (he had no way of knowing that, for all he knew we got pulled over for legitimate reasons) but he trusted his son.
I'm sure we would all like to pretend they got fired, but nah. They took off the cuffs, said something along the lines of "don't give us a reason to stop you" which sounded an awful lot like a threat to me, and nothing ever came of any complaints.
