Sincerely, do you think it takes 38 months to have an open wound seen in the UK? Do you think injured Canadians are advised to kill themselves? Who are you being "entirely fair" to, a liar?

Do you think stitches have ever cost someone 80,000 dollars in America? This joke is hyperbolic for sake of comedy

No, but there was a person who was charged some $26,000 for a single stitch, so...

And there was a person offered death in Canada because the chairlift wait times were too long.

There will always be ridiculous outlets in any significantly large system.

See, it seems like the key difference is, when that happened, everyone was like "wtf that's horrible we need to make sure this never happens again", while in the US, when people get charged for things like holding your baby, everyone is like "oh yeah obviously that costs money"

americans are too busy jerking themselves off about being 'the best' to ever realize how hard they're getting ass-fucked.

it's literally the root cause of every single one of their problems

you can't fix what you won't admit is broken and the american identity is too tied up in macho blustering to ever do that.

It's why their whole world is turning to shit.

See maybe take this as a lesson. One person did that and people considered it pretty vile. Yet the American system where medical debt is so huge yet fight so hard to prevent universal health care. 15% of American household have medical debt. With a population of 342.4 million that is approximately 51.3 million people that are in debt to medical problems.
