That’s cool and all, but it does not address the fact plenty of people were dealing with things like reaching their lifetime max due to cancer, and no longer having health insurance. Or being denied any coverages due to complications from a bad accident.

you claimed americans don’t care about their health as a reason the country falls behind in medically-preventable deaths. so what is it about americans that makes them care less than chileans or britons?

or were you just saying something without evidence or logic behind it as a way to avoid facing a hard issue?
