Presumably you’d only pick it if you had insurance and income to pay for those services. Not if you’re one of 30 or so million without insurance, and I’m not sure how many million more who are underinsured and can’t afford the deductibles. So you can avoid ending up being one of the 40,000 or so Americans that die each year from lack of healthcare access.

I've also had no insurance at all, because it's not actually universal. In fact, right now I've been without an inhaler for a while and won't have one for a long time to come. But I guess this would be no different in the American healthcare system. I agree though that the American system makes people feel insecure, but on the other hand, you guys can get treated for things like ADHD much more easily if you can afford it. All I'm trying to say is that it's not sunshine and rainbows in every other OECD country. It might be in others, but not mine.
