We have a shitty universal healthcare system where the destitute get unlimited healthcare but only at emergency rooms, which is both extremely expensive and not that effective at making them healthy compared to e.g. regular primary care visits with free insulin and antipsychotics. The unpaid emergency rooms bills bring the hospital down and they have to take it out on the middle 50%

You can’t walk in to a Walgreens and get free no questions asked insulin, but you can absolutely pass out in a walgreens and get a ride to the hospital, diagnostics, and insulin (a $7000 value) and when a habit of this doesn’t keep your diabetes in check, they’ll do the amputation for you too ($50,000 a foot!)
