I just want to put a note here that my deleted comment was about how fucked americas healthcare system is, but i felt it was too rambly and personal.
But basically what everyone else said, its propaganda that america doesn't have all the exact same problems as countries that don't bankrupt you. Wait times are absurd, wether ER, primary care, or specialists.
And frequently we don't even bother seeking help because a combination of cost and how long it will take to even see someone.
Look I usually only lurk because im too anxious but I have to say something.
Your logic is the exact logic my neo nazi family use. (not an exaggeration, I grew up around the klan)
"If they act like an N word, why cant I call them an N word, its not like im racist, i call stupid/criminal/bad whites N words too."
So i think anyone who uses this logic to justify a slurs usage should take a moment for self reflection.
(This is coming from someone who is queer and will use queer slurs only in certain company, in private, where everyone involved is aware and into it. (and even then I get uncomfy, especially when im in a new group and I don't know people and they start throwing words around.))
(Also to add I was one of those "slow" kids who has alot of history with the cruel things my family and others called me.
