I don't know what your intention was for what you said, but if your intention wasn't to insinuate that this solves the problem, you failed in your intention. > But we cannot solve problems unless everyone is aligned on basic facts about the system we have now. Disagree. Bringing up random irrelevant stuff overcomplicates already complex discussion. You're downplaying the problem, even if you don't intend to. This a tactic to paralyze the conversation, not further it. Whether this is your tactic or whether you're just repeating what others have said, I don't know, but if it's the latter, you should be more cognizant of the effects of what you repeat. The fact that you can get away with simply not paying some medical debt is not a useful addition to this conversation. A society with a functioning safety net does not saddle people with medical debt, regardless of whether there is any way for that debt to be collected. Notably, you're just passing off the problem to healthcare providers who now don't get paid in the "solution" you're talking about.
