Oh, yes. In the commie socialist states you would get effective healthcare regardless of means and without any cost to you, but in The Land of The Free* you receive bill after bill, each adding another 6 figure sum, requiring you to try to talk to the hospital (who, amongst other heinous lines, charged you $2500 for two 200mg paracetamol pills), pleading for mercy to forgive some of the debt, and at the same time talk to a $200/hr lawyer into pressing charges against anyone who was within earshot of the whole incident and aftermath, on the off chance you get less than half the amount awarded. Your lawyer gets the majority of the awarded sum, and then fees on top of that. You get low 5 figures and a permanent diminishing of mental ability. What an advantage. Trust me. I have recent first-hand experience in the healthcare of Australia, and my sister has recent first-hand experience with the (lack of) healthcare in USA. I'm nearly 100% recovered, only because of the recency of injury, while she nearly died for the incredibly rare condition of giving birth, through a surgeon causing internal bleeding during a c-section. And no-one noticing she was dying for hours.
