In my 50s, I pay $25/week for private health insurance, that covers 100%, non urgent surgery in weeks, gourmet food etc. If I didn't pay for private insurance it would be terrible - I might have to wait months for elected surgery, and the food would not be gourmet. It would still be 100% free though. I live in a first world country though, not USA.
The problem with US citizens and their bullshit world views are....it takes other countries 6+ months for surgeries (which I know isn't true), but most, well most Republicans, in the US think you'll be waiting 6 months for life saving surgeries and you die waiting for them overseas.
The stupid ass media and insurance lobby has prompt this up for decades. Republicans believe anything out of their propaganda circles. It's sad af.
Its stupid because you still have the choice to get private healthcare if you prefer. So you can either wait for the public capacity, or pay your own way out of pocket / through insurance like in the states.
