This meme has no relevance to anything. If it was trying to imply that the USA is cut off from healthcare, it’s totally inaccurate. There are thousands of hospitals and doctor’s offices all over the USA, and Americans utilize them all the time to obtain the healthcare that they need.
Even Americans with no money have options for free healthcare, and here is a link that can be used to access it:
Why are you this way?
Just why?
Meanwhile we’ve reached past global resource tipping points, yet there are still people who believe we can manage a post scarcity society.
Idealism will be the death of us all.
Nowhere did I ever say anything like that. Not once did I say “the American healthcare system is perfect” or great or even good.
What I said already is still there where I said it before. Please do not make up your own interpretations of my words, because you cannot speak for me.

Dude you’re fucking deluded but I’m glad you personally have excellent insurance
Hi there. Had kidney failure for about 8 years.
There was this one medication I badly needed to control secondary hyperparathyroidism. Literally used all avenues, and couldn’t get it approved or covered, other than by paying around 800$ for a single dose. I even had private insurance still at the time btw. The alternative was a surgery to remove a parathyroid gland which would then lead me to having other severe health complications if I got a kidney transplant. You know, due to now missing an organ.
Second treatment in Finland when I was just VISITING, not even a resident yet - "oh, you’re PTH levels are extremely high. We’re going to give you “medicine I’ve been trying to get for months”.
Just like that. No struggle even. Cost? 25$, and that includes the superior diafiltration treatment (USA only has dialysis, despite it giving poorer quality of life and lowering life expectancy, thanks to lobbying from DaVita.
Anyway, fuck you 🙂
Less sick than if I had been in the USA 🙃
Less dead, too.
Hopefully you don’t end up in my situation. Or maybe it’s better you do 🤷🏻♂️
