Nobody would build a system like America’s on purpose.

I tell anyone and everyone we will not get universal healthcare until this is prohibited. Certain votes feel having a job with benefits is something they have earned. They see it as some badge of honor or some.
Abolish it. Make it illegal.
Shit I've worked my way from homeless to well into 6 figures and have "amazing" healthcare. I still want universal healthcare because I'm not a fucking idiot. I want to have the option of leaving my employer and starting my own company without the massive cost of healthcare hanging over my head. I can't understand anyone who thinks otherwise. Literally everyone would save money.
I'm still salty from working at a mediocre company and getting a $7k bill from a doctor for putting a scope into my nose for literally 15 seconds. And more recently, I went to a chiropractor (controversial I know but it helps me a lot) and got a $300 bill after being promised that it would only be $20.
I'm supposed to have great insurance too. I scratched my eye in my sleep bad enough I needed help. Went to the ER, they said come back in two hours or it would be really expensive. So I go back two hours later when the "urgent care" is open. I had to pay $500.00 for them to look in my eye and say yup its scratched, here's a script for some drops. My insurance covered $40.00.
