It seems like you're ignoring a lot of facts and making rash generalizations to justify your political position. In particular, this is stood out to me as blatantly wrong:

>You can pay for your own insurance, which includes doctor prescription, checkups, and you won't go bankrupt in an emergency (or paying for the insurance).

I know somebody who got in a car accident out in the hilly area of town, had to be airlifted to a hospital, and have his skull and spine reconstructed. The guy's a doctor who runs a private practice and he was buying his own insurance, the insurer decided what they were going to cover and what they weren't going to cover, and now he is literally 2 million dollars in debt (2 occupants in the car). And that's somebody who makes a hell of a lot of money compared to fast food workers, who are equally likely to get in car accidents!

You are either naive or fooling yourself if you don't see that this system is broken and exploitive.

Something is not adding up here. Health insurance in the US has annual out of pocket maximums that would have limited his total payments for the incident and all subsequent care to something like $15k/year for his entire family.

Only if they approve it and assuming the doctor takes your insurance. They may not approve it because you are out of network, they deem it not medically required or a drug that they will not pay for because there is a generic.
