    Health insurance in the US is completely fucking broken and the current system is clearly beyond repair. People HAVE to have it, so the providers can keep charging whatever they want, outpacing inflation and fast outpacing wages, while they simultaneously enjoy record profits. We’ve gotta get with (checks notes) EVERY other first-world nation and move to a universal/single-payer system.

    But that would also mean that 0.000002% of the population who “don’t deserve” care might get it, so of course the county will keep cutting off its nose to spite its face.
