I think my comment, and the person I responded to, were being a bit … light hearted (not sure if that’s the right term) about it.
Speaking for myself, don’t let use dissuade you in any way at all. More Americans need to be:
aware of how shitty the for profit medical system is. It’s the most expensive healthcare in the world and not even close to the top in healthcare outcomes.
Aware that countries much poorer that it dignify all of their citizenry with healthcare. (And zero countries that have done so have ever gone back on that choice)
Much more vocal, including in deciding who to vote for, about ending the predatory, immoral profit imperative in healthcare.
Personally I don’t think America can vote its way out of a damn thing, but the corporate propaganda seems to be so terrifically good at getting people I know and care for who I believe have fully functioning brains to believe that somehow this shitty healthcare system is the best in the world.
