well don’t worry, according to one completely out of touch asshole in Iowa (rep Mairannette Miller-Meeks) who enjoys their tax payer funded healthcare, this is actually good! because now people apparently have “skin in the game” and an incentive to stay healthy….. yup, accidents don’t exist, as long as they stay healthy they won’t need to see a doctor and get bankrupted……
Or, beyond accidents, there’s the fun range of cancers Americans can enjoy as Trump rolls back every evlnvironmental and health protective measure he can get his grubby hands on.
You will suffer and die and hopefully be bankrupted in the process to bring better value to shareholders.

That’s ok, they’ll just deny anything you try to claim anyways.
Friendly reminder that [taking into account both the costs of coverage expansion and the savings that would be achieved through the Medicare for All Act, we calculate that a single-payer, universal health-care system is likely to lead to a 13% savings in national health-care expenditure, equivalent to more than US$450 billion annually based on the value of the US$ in 2017 .](https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(19)33019-3/abstract)
Similar to the above Yale analysis, a [publication](https://www.cbo.gov/system/files/2020-12/56811-Single-Payer.pdf) from the Congressional Budget Office found that 4 out of 5 options considered would lower total national expenditure on healthcare (see Exhibit 1-1 on page 13)
But surely the current healthcare system at least has better outcomes than alternatives that would save money, right? Not according to a recent analysis of high-income countries’ healthcare systems, which found that [the top-performing countries overall are Norway, the Netherlands, and Australia. The United States ranks last overall, despite spending far more of its gross domestic product on health care. The U.S. ranks last on access to care, administrative efficiency, equity, and health care outcomes, but second on measures of care process.](https://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/fund-reports/2021/aug/mirror-mirror-2021-reflecting-poorly#outcomes)

None of this should be surprising given that the US’s current inefficient, non-universal healthcare system [costs close to twice as much per capita](https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/chart-collection/health-spending-u-s-compare-countries/#item-spendingcomparison_gdp-per-capita-and-health-consumption-spending-per-capita-2019) as most other developed countries that do guarantee healthcare to all citizens (without forcing patients to risk bankruptcy in exchange for care).

I’m tired boss
Health insurance is a coupon that doesn’t work anywhere
Not being alive sounds really good right now…
”But then the oligarchs will get their way! This is what they want…!”
Fine. Let them have their way. The hedonistic, world-burning lifestyle they want will eventually kill them too.
Let it happen, everyone drops their insurance and crumble the crooked insurance economy, people will beg for socialized health care.
No, it’s fine really. Just drink about 5,600 fewer Starbucks lattes a year and that covers the price.
“Just comply”
“just stay healthy”
These people want you to die and believe it’s your own fault
Oh, come on, people. As Joni Ernst said, “We’re all going to die.”/s
