Our system is absolutely in crisis and my partner can't wait more than a year to have a functional hip again (they're currently wheelchair bound and not even sixty)... We'll probably get private care abroad because like fuck are we going to fund local doctors running private clinics.
This is a funding issue - can these conservative fucks not see how absolutely shitty the US's healthcare system is? I used to live under that system and you'd just ignore problems until they got really bad because health isn't free.
We can do better, it absolutely will cost more than we're spending now but it's fucking worth it. Health is literally the one thing you can't fucking skimp on if you want a good life.
...or doctors, or nurses, or anyone that isn't a rent-seeking parasite.
It’s called gaslighting honey
