or you could move to a country with a working public health care system.

let me introduce you to this thing called visa. and even when obtained: as a migrant you won't be welcomed (mildly) and sometimes be considered an alien..

Sure, but it certainly is better to have some racisism around you then to commit suicide. Especially since a good bunch of people without access to free health care are actually living in one of the richest countries in the world. Money helps a lot to make obtaining visas easier and makes racisim less bad.

Have you tried moving to a new country? You don't just walk in and become a resident. Especially when you're seeking healthcare.

Obviously you need to move before you get sick and a bunch of bs applies. However it is an option for quite a few people and should be considered.
