Interesting.... If lost some friends in burning cars, one of my ounts got a heart attack while swimming and drowned. But doctors safed my life at least two times.
In the recent past, wonderful American medicine cured my wife of cancer. A little over ten years ago, I had triple bypass surgery, and am still going strong. American medicine is great. And like most things, if you start off by working hard in school and get a good job, you'll get employed by a company that provides good coverage. People that whine about medical care as a "scam" usually whine about how they don't have a lot of things they they want like a home, car, retirement, etc. They whine about how it's somebody else's fault when the real culprit is in the mirror.
In all developed countries, and more and more of Third World countries too, medical care at the level of the USA or higher (!!) is affordable for everyone. Iomagine, a normal bricklayer can afford a better healthcare with 100% coverage! ("good coverage" is, with all respect to you ridiculous - outside God's own country) And if everybody was a rocket scientist, someone has to clean the toilets, flip the burgers and refill the ailes at Trader Joe'S . And these guy also earn good health care. You didn't get it. In all developed countries, and more and more of Third World countries too, medical care at the level of the USA or higher (!!) is affordable for everyone. If you are sick and need help, it's not your fault.
I understand. You come from a background in which you aspire to be a professional toilet cleaner. That's not my frame of reference. To each their own. Getting a free ride in life is the essence of socialism. From the old USSR to more examples throughout eastern Europe, we see it dosesn't work.
