So considering the scope of your other responses, what do you suggest someone that lives in America do? My supposition is that the realization that the US healthcare system is broken won't be a great companion to lonely people.


I'm not an American, my area of expertise is not healthcare or politics in the USA, so I can't tell you how to arrive at that point or to navigate your political system effectively.

Perhaps look at how other countries arrived at a national health service. Demand/support reform on private health insurance. Demand/support change in the accessibility of services. Demand/support heavier taxes on the most wealthy. Demand/support centralization of healthcare versus private profiteering and milking private insurance pots.

Are certain politicians or parties as a whole invested in the healthcare system itself, directly profiting from it, and thus might be opposed to the idea?

A healthier country is a more prosperous one.


Right, right, definitely the people that are sad and lonely and depressed should stake their mental wellbeing on complicated long term incremental political change.

Or maybe they could find whatever solutions help them get through their day without being judged by someone with the random privilege of being born into a more functional system.

>A healthier country is a more prosperous one.

Between the US and the UK, which is healthier? And which is more prosperous?
