Medical debt is an eminently more solvable problem than death or permanent disability. This is not a defense of America's fucking criminal private medical system, but this is absolutely a valid lesser of two evils situation here.
You can always seek todo like me and many other people born in 3rd world and migrate to 1st world country.
If you're in US I hear Canada is a great place to move to, and easy too. I hear they have the freedom of good cheap healthcare. I would trade the freedom to have Nazis with that any day.
Canada's national defense, GDP, and import/export economies are completely reliant on USA. Living in that shadow should scare Canadians, because if USA decides one day "you know what? Fuck Canada", there's literally nothing they can do to defend themselves if the entire might of US military and economic power is imposed. It's like having an unhinged wealthy gun-nut neighbor living in the flat right next to you.
There's not a lot most people could do if the USA decided to impose the entire might of their military and economic power.
Then how did Vietnam and Afghanistan get away with it?
