This. I used to buy breakfast from a small food place. The 21-ish cashier lady always gave me a nice 'good morning' and a smile. She wasn't there one morning and I asked where she was. She died - something to do with her kidneys and she didn't have health insurance. Now the US gets to statistically ignore her death and claim it provides excellent health care to its citizens?
