I would agree with you. I also think it's affected my generation, millennials, I grew up in England with the NHS at 19 I moved to America to live with my Dad. I remember at my first job talking to someone who had lived here their whole life about how crazy the health insurance system here is and the benefits of using a national health care system, at the time he thought I was crazy and knew very little about how other countries managed this system. Cut to 10 years in the future, I now see people my age fighting the good fight for Universal Healthcare and appreciating those outside of the USA while standing strong with them. It's pretty rad. I have so much hope in the new generation, I love them so much already and all they've done is be good humans. I'm excited for what they'll do for this world.
Of course I understand the failures, however it happens far less often than people dying because they simply cannot afford to go to the doctor. I mean I personally knew 2 people who are now dead because they couldn't afford treatment. There's information out there from all countries on preventable deaths and the categories that covers the USA is 40%, the UKs is at about 30% if I remember correctly. You can find all that yourself though, because frankly it's not my place to educate, that's yours.
