american health care system is a joke. Our country is rich AF but might be the only developed country where medical care will put a person in life-long debt. I had to get a simple blood test for my college physical but for some reason the doctor ordered an unnecessary full blood screening. My uninsured self got a bill from the lab for $700 that I refused to pay until debt collectors came after me and my credit was getting messed up. I complained to the doctor and he basically told me too bad. Haven't been to a doctor since, about 10 years. Always a bad experience and doctors always trying to rush you out of there.This is a problem that is overlooked and many aren’t thinking about. There is a big group that have been marginalized when it comes to health and no one has ever done anything for them and now that you need them are pushing vaccines on them. You can’t expect people to look at the greater good when in normal times no one thinks about their health and they can fend for themselves
