The healthcare situation in the US is horrible enough for this. Mind, I'm from Brazil and even though we're a shitty third world piece of crap sometimes, we still got free universal health care and great 100% free public universities. It baffles me that a country as wealthy as the US does not provide such basic things to its citizens. I guess it's a matter of the mindset on priorities? War > Health? I went to Cuba once, where people are objectively very poor, and still I had no issues being seen by a doctor at a local clinic for free when I had an eye emergency even though I was just a tourist. I live in Europe now, where general quality of life is much better than where I lived in Brazil and it terrifies me that other Brazilians often look to the US as something to strive for rather than Europe in our next developments. I've heard of multiple cases before of people with bad health who simply had to flee the US and move somewhere else more social so they wouldn't die or because they had already gone bankrupt paying for health services. It's a shame, really, the US definitely has enough money and would be able to provide their citizens more humane care, but this is not an unsurprising story. :(
