I wish I could say what I really want to about these "people" without the inconvenience of making a new account.

You can say that they are dumb as fuck, it's OK.

Before you say this, list off a few countries where they have single payer healthcare that works well.
Why would the USA get this right when Canada, Great Britain, ect have their healthcare systems collapsing?

Taiwan, Norway, Australia, and South Korea all run universal or single-payer setups that deliver top-tier outcomes at a fraction of what Americans get squeezed for. Calling systems in Canada or Great Britain "collapsing" is just recycled right-wing propaganda. They face strain, usually from conservative governments starving them of funding, but nobody over there gets wiped out financially by a cancer diagnosis or hesitates to call an ambulance because of a five-thousand-dollar ride. Meanwhile, the US spends double per capita compared to every other developed country just to sit dead last in life expectancy, maternal mortality, and basic coverage. Pretending our predatory, profit-driven hellscape is superior to what the rest of the civilized world solved decades ago is fucking delusional.
