    This point is overdone, but Americans spend more than other developed countries on healthcare, so it’s not even an austerity thing.

      I mean, it still counts as austerity when the money is coming out of your own pocket

      I’m gonna need you to cite them sources boss, or I’m gonna assume you’re another liar spewing bullshit.

          Appreciate you for the links!

          Whoever down voted me, go back to your echo chamber where you can stay an ignorant dipshit that takes everything you see on the internet as factual.

          Im just asking for citations to encourage spreading good information instead of AI generated hallucination trash and right-wing/cult/heresay nonsense.

            this isn’t reddit. you can ask for sources politely or you can get downvotes. we like to encourage civility.

            If you don’t wanna be downvoted, maybe don’t be so aggressive when you ask for citations.

            I’m gonna assume you’re another liar spewing bullshit.

            is a bit antagonistic for “just asking”. A little civility will take you a long way.

            "I’m going to aggressively call anyone talking about a widely known issue with American Healthcare a bullshit spewing liar!

            Waaaah why am I being downvoted waaaah I fucking hate you socialists and your facts, you’re all ignorant dipshits even though you just proved I’m the ignorant one!"

            As an American leftist, the above is the majority of my countrymen and it is fucking embarrassing and exhausting to live alongside them. It is incredibly frustrating how well our government has convinced the average person in this country to vehemently fight against their own wellbeing. The number of people I’ve come across who claim to be left politically but then call socialism the extreme right is just mind-boggling. It’s like they think other countries are just actual make believe and that the US is the only functional country on the planet
