In our country people don’t die because they can’t afford healthcare. In the US many do. And many others endure chronic pain and disability because they can’t afford treatment. And that in the richest country on earth…
Yet the Good Ol’ Boys call our system evil. Wake up USA, these swines are protecting their wealth, not your health!
We get the same garbage over here from the right wing press (often owned by the same people as yours!) but you have to be savvy enough to see through it. It comes down to what kind of world you want to live in, what your values are. In Europe most communities have made that choice, and they want to raise the game, not have business oppress by fear. The US is practically feudal in comparisson to Europe.
