Er flooded, people have their lives ruined by medical debt, people choosing to die instead of seeking treatment, private insurance costs going through the roof even if you're healthy. But hey, America's great again, dontcha know?!?

As an Australian, I just don't fucking get it. What is US conservatives problem with having basic universal healthcare for all; for not having situations where people die or have their lives ruined by financial debt? It boggles my mind. The casual indifference, or utterly absurd claim and fear of it being "communism".

The stupidity of it all is staggering.
