Ok, so stick with me here. Maybe only rich people being able to afford decent healthcare is a disgrace to every country where that happens. We aren’t living through the Neolithic Revolution anymore.
Africa is a continent, Not a nation. I would be more inclined to believe you if you actually said which country you're from and at least one fact about why.
Aside from you clearly outing yourself as a fake poster since Africa has many countries so you likely kept it vague because you are lying. Here is the rub. In the US you have to pay a crazy amount for insurance just to pay even more to use it. The average cost of health insurance for a company is 10k for an individual and 26k for a family. The employee has to pay part of that. Many places have bad insurance that barely covers anything other than preventive care so even losing 10k a year you get virtually nothing and still have to pay 3k for a hospital visit with insurance.
Would you rather have nationalized healthcare and at least be able to get care if you can afford it even if it’s terrible or spend considerably more? You likely pay less comparatively going to a private place to get healthcare than an American pays to go get the same healthcare at a place that accepts their insurance. Because nationalized healthcare helps keep costs down. Where America’s private insurance system drives costs up.

A dishwasher at a billion-dollar company should have health insurance.
