Healthcare is under stress everywhere, but those of you in the USA who don't understand how fundamentally broken your system is need to give your heads a shake. It's precisely because of how it's treated like a business first, thinking that competition is the solution to the problem, and applying other business principles is the way to improvement that things are the way they are. Read medical forums like KevinMD and you hear constantly about highly trained physicians ready to abandon the profession because they're treated like automatons, high suicide rates, and the best way to find a side hustle because their jobs suck so badly. Your country is being held back by the ludicrous way healthcare is structured, citizens shackled to employers, with the worst results for money spent anywhere in the civilized world. Citizens are so brainwashed they're unwilling to acknowledge the ideological morass that created and sustains this all. People who remain so frightened when people say the word 'socialism' that they double down on stupidity. Or refuse to look outside your borders because you're self-evidently the greatest country on earth. Pitiful.
