I just want to put a note here that my deleted comment was about how fucked americas healthcare system is, but i felt it was too rambly and personal.

But basically what everyone else said, its propaganda that america doesn't have all the exact same problems as countries that don't bankrupt you. Wait times are absurd, wether ER, primary care, or specialists.

And frequently we don't even bother seeking help because a combination of cost and how long it will take to even see someone.
