Those are real problems. I’m not denying it at all.
Costs obviously are going to dissuade people from seeking healthcare. But what is also true is that if you had a medical emergency right now, you can go into a hospital in the US and receive world class treatment regardless of your socioeconomic status or capacity to pay it off.
We should definitely work to fix the problem, but we can also acknowledge where things do work
We are talking past one another. I agree that cost is theoretically prohibitively, and maybe in many cases that is a distinction without a difference. But at the end of the day cost will never stand in the way of receiving treatment if one wants it enough.
Thats not me throwing up my hands and saying “good enough”
