because we all get it regardless of income or job, and we don't' go bankrupt because of medical issues, nor are we locked into poorly paid shitty jobs because we NEED healthcare. When i hurt myself i just go, i don't sit there thinking about "is the co pay worth it" - American healthcare is worse than ours for most people: https://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/issue-briefs/2...

I'm sorry your family hasn't gotten the care it deserves, but would you rather end up with a 100,000 bill, or your child dead because they didn't have insurance and couldn't afford their insulin?

I don't have to think about it, i just go and use it. Yes it could be better but would you want to pay more taxes to fund it better? (i know is sure would)
