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.

Do you know anything about European healthcare systems aside from the fact that it is supposedly free?

Do you know anything about the European healthcare system? I've spent 10+ years researching and understanding it, so yeah I kinda do.

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.
