So there's no room for improvement then? Because I really don't think it's as accessible as other nations and your ability to heal shouldn't depend on your job.

Meanwhile we've reached past global resource tipping points, yet there are still people who believe we can manage a post scarcity society.

Idealism will be the death of us all.

Nowhere did I ever say anything like that. Not once did I say "the American healthcare system is perfect" or great or even good.

What I said already is still there where I said it before. Please do not make up your own interpretations of my words, because you cannot speak for me.

Context isn't real and won't effect your English grades. "Americans have access to free healthcare..." Ahhh yes the fabled NHS America, if only, then when I go online people would be complaining about doctors not getting paid well enough, and not how everyone is paying huge chunks of money for literally any treatment of any kind.

"Americans have access to free healthcare..." Is a disingenuous statement that ignores the financial damage private healthcare does to everyone.

And yes Americans do have hospitals and doctors in the most literal sense, and you are unfortunate to go there if you want to be dept free. I hear ambulances are £5000 for a single ride.
