This has nothing to do with me having feelings on the matter. Me being afraid of what's to come does not exclude anything you've said

'If this is true, we should' is a call to action, not a bad one, it's intention and your feelings are in the right place. However, the time to react to your government not providing healthcare to its citizens the pot has been boiling over for more than two centuries, it's been on fire for longer even. Your peers have been dying all along, your likeminded have moved away, or started trying assassination, rebellion anything desperation calls for, as they are killed off one by one because the meds they need to live are price-hiked beyond human comprehension as that's what the lobbying industry sees and uses for income, that industry is your pride and all the deaths along the way has never been hidden from you

I was not trying to call any one to action. I was expressing my dismay over a worsening Healthcare system.

You've read in about a paragraphs worth of extra to my expression of worry. An unnecessary paragraph full of things abundantly clear to anyone living in the system
