I love my quality of care in the US. My insurance is quite reasonable compared to what my increased tax burden might look like overseas. I can’t imagine living in a nation that would make me wait months for something like an MRI, I love living in a nation where I can get an MRI for myself and my dog in the same day. I also enjoy living in a nation that doesn’t suggest I kill myself over trivial situations and backlogs, let alone suggest I kill myself at all.
The only thing I hate is dealing with Byzantine clerical processes in the occasions they make a mistake. Have to waste 3 hours on back and forth phone calls because a low-level nurse made a typo is obnoxious.

[1] Does it matter to you that 66.5% of all bankruptcies are due to medical bills [2] and that Almost 1 in 5 adults with health care debt either lose their homes or declare bankruptcy ? [2] Do you simply not care that the people in your community and society struggle to get the bare minimum?
