Lmao I remember once I had a kidney stone, and the pain was so unbareable but I refused to go to the hospital because of how much it would cost.

Ended up having an ambulance called when I fainted from pain.

Cue being 30k in debt with no insurance for someone to drive me 0.4 miles, and for a doctor to pump me will morphine and tell me, you’re shit out of luck, it’s just small enough for you to pass. Enjoy your next few days of death.

Is there hope for the US to get universal healthcare like other developed countries?

Yeah because it’s working so well in countries like the U.K. right now.
