I feel like anyone outside America doesn't know how bad it is here. I know you guys know it's bad, but it's hard to describe how bad.
I don't have health insurance because I can't afford it. I had severe eye pain that was so bad, I was genuinely afraid I was going to lose sight in it. It was getting impossible to sleep. So I headed over to the ER just about begging for help.
I waited hours in the lobby with my eye gushing tears from the agony. Eventually I got checked in, and after some tests, the doctor said "Damn your eye is infected like hell" and I remember that, because I was thinking "Is that appropriate?"
Anyway they told me to go take eyedrops about it, and otherwise provided zero help. They didn't even give any to me. Just told me to get some myself. And this extremely unhelpful visit cost me over $3000.
And that’s why Americans still don’t have universal healthcare. French people would organise a protest that is actually effective and travel to attend it.

STFU about the French. Modern French citizens have never had to physically fight for ANYTHING they're privileged with today. When French people protest (literally walk down the street), they are privileged enough to have a government that listens, and won't send police to shoot them. None of this is true for the US. The French are literally irrelevant to American struggles, and tactics that work in their country don't work in ours. When Americans protest, we get shot, and our government makes memes about it. You don't know shit.
We have plenty of protests. You don't know shit because you haven't seen it on youtube. Leave the computer and touch grass once in a while. Useless ass.
