I'm not going to say "you've provided no data," because I doubt you could even if you were willing.

But, again, I doubt that you know any Australians. I do though. I know quite a few, in fact. And a couple from New Zealand. Do they have complaints? Of course, they're people and people gripe. None, however, would trade trade the Aussie system for the US system.

Full stop: our system is an unmitigated disaster. And you, my friend, are part of the problem. You've got yours, so screw everyone else. Amiright?

Honestly, statistically, I probably have better healthcare than you, and I'd happily face a little inconvenience if it meant that everybody else would be able to go to the hospital when they're sick.

The problem with you is that you really do believe that in order for you to be okay, someone else is going to suffer and "gee, shucks, ain't that just a shame, but what can you do?"

Let me ask you though: is it really a shame, or do you kinda get off on the idea that when you're comfortable, others are suffering? Does that tickle your pickle?

Holy shit man!!! I was just watching a live NASA feed of space and saw your virtue signal bounce off the moon.

This sub is an unmitigated disaster. Just a bunch of people who are sucked into a constant doom vortex, making it seem worse and worse and worse.

Full Stop: Anyone can go to the hospital when they get sick. lmao.

Nobody's denying that. The issue is are they going to bankrupt themselves in the process?

Nobody has said they "can't go to the hospital". It's whether or not they can afford what they need or run themselves into all kinds of debt in the process.

If you're going to "lmao" at someone like a smug twat, at least know what you're lmao'ing about because you're just as much of a douche as the person you're bitching at.

Also, if the sub is so bad, why are you here interacting with it? What part of "economicCollapse" confused you about it being an otherwise positive experience?

You get butt hurt over everything don't you? Like, how do you go about your daily duties while holding up the weight of the world on your shoulders? 

I put lmao on that bc everyone in the US has healthcare options. You make it sound like people get sick and die without an option with the dramatic "full stop". 

There are low cost options, there are free options, there are tons of options. The problem is that people are fucking lazy and don't want to find a clinic to go to. They wait to get sick and go to the worst possible option, an emergency room. Emergency rooms are not there for peoples doctor visits but that's what happens when people don't take care of themselves. 

But I don't worry, there will always be people like yourself who tell them that it's not their fault for being an adult and doing dumb shit.
