    You’ve lost me. Maybe because I’m not American and it wishes differently there.

    Why do you want to boycott healthcare?

    My partner is a clinical nurse and the local clinic is holding on by the skin of their teeth. Surviving on grant money, and if they go down it’ll be a 30 minute drive to the next town for medical assistance.

      our healthcare is privatized shit. you get insurance through work mostly with no choice in what you have and then find a provider that takes it and then they ask for a credit card because the insurance system for billing is hard and they will not work through any issues and charge you but have a maximum out of pocket and if it does not show as coming from insurance it essentially dings you double and oh then they charge 10x the price because the insurance pays 1/10th the price but if they go after you for it they will be looking for the full inflated price and maybe cut you a deal and reduce it 20%. Im sure I missed a whole lot of other horrible things with US healthare but there is so much its hard to keep it all straight. oh every single hospital thing is going to create phone alls and work to get the payment done on the level of doing taxes that is also something you do not really know how bad it is till you do it american style.
