Healthcare should never be for profit. It's crazy to me that people think our system is the best, when really it's just a race to the bottom.

Everything is the “best” when you have no experience or knowledge of how other systems work. I don’t understand how Americans are so scared of a national healthcare plan that will take care of all of its citizens for a fraction of the cost and with standard care. I mean, the system we have now really isn’t working well for the majority of us, and if you lose your job… well best get on dyin then!

"Americans" aren't scared though; much like marijuana legalization, the vast majority of Americans support nationalized healthcare. Our system is just broken and corrupt so our leaders don't need to give a shit about what the majority wants.

It’s best if you have so much money that handing over a pile money for procedures is like buying groceries. Yeah, there’s technically ‘access’ to the best medical care on the planet, but that’s like saying nothing’s stopping me from eating wagyu beef and caviar every meal, except, well money.
