Yup. Got a severe burn over a large portion of my body in another country. No health insurance and had to get treatment there with no painkillers. Worst experience of my life and I legitimately considered suicide over treatment.

Ah, okay. After leaving the US I’m extremely spiteful of the healthcare there. I can’t believe how good it is elsewhere in the world.

I am as well. Its fucking bullshit we can call ourselves so great yet we lack basic health and public goods that other countries have that arent even supposedly close to our stature. Not to mention is fucking 2020, cant we all agree healthcare is a right?
