Definitely a symptom of the 1% hoarding all the wealth... there's a version of that "trickle down" theory Republicans seem to love so much. If you can barely afford groceries or housing - how do you expect people to be able to afford basic medical care and other things that keep people from teetering off the edge?
Workers are paid like shit and burnt out - so lots of people do bare minimum at work to get by. I don't blame them. A society attempting to function like that ends up with holes all over the place that make everything worse and decimate any kind of safety nets for lower and middle class families. Corporations and government put up all their red tape bullshit that seems to be done solely to exhaust people and make them want to give up.
And one of the most stupid things of them all - you now have dumb fuck Republicans openly shouting from the hilltops that vaccines are evil and to not trust doctors....
Eugenics? Cost cutting?
synergy!
Darwinism.
Are they falling in China, Russia, Susan, Israel? only shit holes are our peers.
China yes, susan no. But susan is an outlier.
Sounds Sus.
Leave Susan out of this.
You're right. She's really cleaned up her shit.
Can you please not use that term "Lazy Susan"? It's got racist and sexist connotations, and I'd really prefer you just not call it that.
Who's that racist towards? Susans? That's crazy. Where'd you get that?
Okay. I would just like you to not use the term.
You're right. You know what? It should be...
We should definitely start using the Ambitious Susan.
Yes, yes. Please spin the Indefatigable Susan.
Oh, can we have the Multifaceted Susan my way, please?
Yeah, spin the Industrious Susan.
Ooh, can you spin Ambidextrous Susan, please.
The name is Ginormica.
Suddenly Susan
At first glance I read: "afforable deaths"...
lol, no, americans don't get those.
I have yacht payments and a mortgage on a third mansion to make. Don't make me pay for you to stay alive.
Oh no we don't have those in America. Dying is expensive, but don't worry the government won't get a penny of that as an estate tax
I did too!
A penny saved...

United states is ranked 48. And they claim to have th best healthcare in the world.
Obviously that's not true, they may have one of the best for the very rich. But on average it's VERY bad.
Food standards are also bad, so again it's only if you are doing well that you can afford healthy food.
The countries surrounding USA on this list have about a third the wealth per capita!!!
huh. wonder how that happens. guess we'll never know. oh well.
Ben Shapiro said years ago that the US Healthcare system is the best... but it's only flaws were regulation. I think Ben Shapiro needs to have his ass examined and then given a diagnosis of colon cancer and told to fuck off.

Imagine being that dimwitted! But maybe he is just a troll?
No he is a legit vile dipshit who wants police convicted of murder pardoned and probably reinstated as police. He WANTS the riots to ensue.
He WANTS the riots to ensue.
May he be the first victim.
Best health care = most profitable health care.
We can add time to your life by charging so much money and limiting access via networks that you avoid care until it’s too late. Or you just choose the cheapest insurance that’s actually useless if you need it. Now that you’ve collapsed from a heart attack and taken a $5k ride in a fancy ambulance to the out-of-network ER that has reduced coverage for non-preapproved procedures we can extend your life via stents and bypasses or other serious measures. You have severely reduced life expectancy, maybe lost your job if the attack disabled you, maybe lose your home, but look how great our medical care was in making sure you didn’t use it until you desperately needed it!
wealth per capita
If only that were how it actually got distributed
Well that's kind of decided by the voters and population, and Americans voting Republican abs0olutely makes it worse.
