      Oh but the thing is I have gotten terribly sick before, and I’ve seen a doctor and I got all the treatment I needed because I have good coverage. If I had to pay for everything on my own? I’d still have gone in to see a doctor if it meant debt. If they denied me treatment I’d set up my estate to sue them in the case of my death.

      Our system sucks. But it can get a lot worse, very quickly.

        Really fixated on the absurd take that the only way to have care is out of pocket at American health care costs? You’re a deliberate fool. Blocked.

            You’re spending a lot of time trying to defend that it could be worse when everyone is saying it needs to be better. You’re trying to defend the status quo on the ground that no coverage would be worse when everyone else is saying the rest of the civilized world has examples doing much better

              I am presenting actual real plans to make it better while others plan to actively cause harm to each other.
