When, after years of paying premiums into it (net positive for it), the health care system suddenly turned its back on me. When the only recourse for mis-treatment -- even simply to fix the resulting problem; never mind about compensation -- would be to go to court (no matter how ill and incapacitated you are).

This is when I learned that the U.S. is fundamentally unsafe.

P.S. Personal anecdote. Not to compare to nor diminish the very real physical threats that others face.
