so a common excuse why people are not protesting is that they need to work to keep healthcare and not just drop dead... I guess at this point the rest of the world celebrates another 300K that don't have that excuse anymore?

No health care insurance in America means you cannot pay for health care period. The majority of people with not enough money to pay for the rip off that is American health care insurance will certainly not be able to pay for actual American Healthcare

What you are saying is akin to "the bank denied my loan, now I have to buy the house cash only"... that will never happen, there will be no house for this hypothetical example person

A hospital in the US can’t just let you die because you don’t have insurance. So when somebody is in a dire situation and isn’t insured their debt will usually be sold for pennies on the dollar to a debt collector, who will then make their life hell in ways that aren’t always legal, and the difference is just absorbed by the hospital who will then raise prices on others to compensate. Thus healthcare will cost more especially if more people are removed from having insurance or other coverage. I believe this is what the person you were responding to was trying to point out.

Is this the "both sides" I keep hearing about? As in, "we're gonna kill everyone on both sides of our borders."
