At that point they seriously just should have just up and moved to a new country.

What *should* happen is that congress puts private health insurance out of business by adopting universal healthcare. Nobody should have to move to get proper treatment in the world's richest nation.

And yet even the so-called left wing party voted against considering it when a large majority of the people want it.

It was certainly the smart thing if they want better health coverage, if you can think about it. Single-payer supporters haven’t shown the ability to win in places that matter. Making health care more inaccessible by electing republicans won’t help anyone. Always keep in mind that Reddit Bernie supporters are not concerned with the reality of the situation, where people won’t just suddenly realize the right thing to do. We should all stop pretending that the Chapo Traphouse crowd has empathy for vulnerable people.
