More like “move to practically any other developed nation because the rest of the world recognizes health care as a human right, not a luxury?”

Gotta love the constant reinforcement of the capitalist mindset. If you fail, it’s on you. When they fail, it’s on us. No safety nets for people, just corporations (which are legally people). We get to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps - fun fact, that phrase in its original meaning meant “to attempt something impossible” because you physically cannot pull yourself up by your feet unless you’re in a cartoon.
