I'm failing to understand how that has anything at all to do with 'people not wanting to work at all'. And besides the point - I completely agree with it. Healthcare costs are absurd. Who decided that my eyes & teeth aren't part of my health, why do I pay separately for those? And what is the point of insurance if they can just deny anything they want or require me to pay thousands out of pocket before they get involved at all? And this is after I pay hundreds a month to the insurance companies depending on plan. Speaking of plans - why is it the norm that I must try my best to predict the future 1 year in advance about whether I'll get sick or hurt this year? Guess wrong? - well good luck with that! The whole thing is ridiculous and unexpectedly throws people into impossible financial positions through no fault of their own regularly.

You said I’m cherry picking extremists, Im just looking at the top posts.

  Again - where is the extremism there that relates at all to your original statement of 'Definitely people that don’t want to work at all.'..? I think you're being intellectually dishonest and am choosing to exit this conversation now as I don't see you responding to the above query in good faith after giving you another chance already. Have a good weekend.

    It’s linked to late stage capitalism, do they want to work? I sort all of Reddit by rising posts, which is why I think my feed is different.

Being from a country with a national health service, I can appreciate why they'd want one. It is a reasonable thing to ask.

  The US has Medicaid for elderly and people with disabilities, the VA for veterans, and Obamacare for those who can’t afford it. I’m very surprised the idea is national healthcare service doesn’t exist. We can complain about quality of course, but most foreigners either think it’s all private or free healthcare doesn’t exist. We have a choice: free (often crappy care), pre regulation health trials, expensive experimental treatment , cutting edge medicine from specialists like the Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic or University of Chicago, and healthcare from work off the top of my head.
