No disrespect or judgement here. But honestly, I can’t believe Americans hadn’t completely lost their shit decades ago over the lack of healthcare in their country.

It's connected to employment most of the time. Can't take off work to protest or fight, can't risk losing that job and the healthcare it "provides". We've been pressured to have kids, so now you're doing it all to support them, much higher liability than just a single man or woman. It's all a ruse to control people.
