“even though most are insured” Of course they have debt - insurance is a scam, it’s not a solution to a problem, it’s a problem you accept to act as a middleman between you and other possibly bigger problems enabled by the incredibly shitty culture we’ve created which is not worth continuing.

And the prices of american health care are a direct response to that scam, by the way. as far as they’re concerned every bill is directed at the insurance industry and is aimed at recouping lost costs due to the bullshit insurance companies pull.

Just because it’s always been this way doesn’t mean it’s not incredibly, incredibly dumb.
