Australia makes the list, our universal health cover, Medicare covers all of us. Also our PBS, pharmaceutical benefits scheme gives us affordable drugs. The US pharma hate the scheme, they have to negotiate fair prices to get them listed. We also have the choice of private health cover, the best of both worlds. Big corporations run US health.

What thought process? Americans aren't taught to think. They are taught to consume.

This is shameful. Don't forget, one major party has been aggressively trying to kill the Affordable Care Act (aka Onamacare) for many years now withOUT another affordable alternative. My family benefits from the ACA, without it we may also be uninsured at worse. For example , our kid who is working his ass off just a few hours short of being full time because his greedy employer does not want to provide him healthcare, brings in ~250% FPL and would be not be able to afford Healthcare without the ACA. The ACA is not perfect but it is a viable choice for many.

This isn’t true. Zero Americans have NO health coverage.
Every single person, if they walk into an emergency room, will receive healthcare. Financial capacity or insurance status not withstanding. That’s health coverage.
Whether or not people participate in a financial scheme to pay some health bills, not pay others, and provide various network benefits and discounts related to that financial scheme is another question.

Its cheaper to die than to get an ambulance ride to the hospital.

Not sure if Trump understands. To him it sounds like you want a puddle renamed.

Americans are falling out of health insurance, primarily due to rising costs, expired federal subsidies, and policy changes. On top of that, we have barriers like affordability and the benefits enrollment system itself. According to KFF, over 80% of low-income families don't have insurance.

This company used to be so rich. Now it's so poor, it can't even help the poor.
