> Our Healthcare is some of the best in the world.
Find one of the many articles titled something like "US Health System Ranks Last Among High-Income Countries" to learn why you're wrong.
But you sound like you'll never be convinced because you're happy and "you've got yours".

Sorry, your healthcare comparatively sucks. Find one of the many articles titled something like "US Health System Ranks Last Among High-Income Countries" to learn more.
It might be working for YOU, and it might not be working for 1 guy in England (who knows his circumstance), but that doesn't mean much to me.
> The remaining 9% need options too, but ripping out something that works pretty well for 91% to accommodate the 9% is not a good strategy.
My point is it's not working for MANY of the 91% and 9% uninsured is a failure anyway... That's 30 million people. I think it's better to put it that way because it doesn't dehumanize them behind a small percent number.

> Try getting that QOS in a socialist system.
I mainly mean this line. You got your good(?) insurance, forget the social safety net!
I just did a quick check "Roughly 30 million Americans of all ages had no health insurance in 2021"... that's a lot. Not to mention the people who have crappy insurance that isn't nearly as good as the free options in other countries.
The US healthcare system suck for everyone except the well-off, which is a seemingly ever-shrinking amount of people.

Typical "I got mine" psychotic mentality.

Hey! You're saying this Billboard Hot 100 #1 hit isn't better that everything from CCR?

Goes to show how much good music was released those years. I think about half of those 9 should have been #1s though.

Reply to comment by SCWarriors44 in TIL "to pull oneself up by one's bootstraps" is an example of an impossible task. The idiom dates at least to 1834, from the Workingman's Advocate: "It is conjectured that Mr. Murphee will now be enabled to hand himself over the Cumberland river or a barn yard fence by the straps of his boots. by meat-juice
I'm a self made leach because I don't respect society and I'm not materialistic enough to want much from life. I do as little as I possibly can do. I have a lot of freedom because I just don't give shit about working hard or contributing or much of anything else. I've grown to hate most people and/or see them as sucker slaves. I love my friends and family, I'd do anything to help them short of participating in this gruesome soul sucking mockery of life called "modern society".
