🐈⬛David SommersethI would say that's more a huge issue with the US politics. In most of Europe you don't need to worry about health insurance at all; everyone has it - regardless if you have a job or not.
It's the GOPs FUD agenda that anything in governmental control is a step towards communism which plays out here. In addition to their greed agenda ("I don't want my tax money to sponsor other people! It should only benefit me.").
And since the US political system isn't a true democracy; it's corporatism - where it's companies funding politicians ... This won't change at all. Since the corporations can help exclude politicians working to reduce the corporate impact on the politics - simply by funding politicians supporting them instead.

Lou Katz@humanistengineer.bsky.social Capitalism is an economic system that contains absolutely no moral or ethical components.
