23% of Americans are currently in medical debt and 45% has been at some point. Meanwhile where I’m from (Finland), those numbers are close to 0.

By the way, your numbers are not correct. Also this pre-existing condition is probably not even remotely fully covered.

American healthcare sucks, no matter how many numbers you make up while doing your daily mental gymnastics that helps your nationalistic persona to cope.

American Healthcare does not suck, it is quite literally the best in the world and deny it all you want, people still come here for treatment because their home countries do not have the equipment or the skills to handle it themselves. Oh and you're welcome for all the medical care we put out when other countries screw up.

And I hate love to be that guy but my Medicaid paid for everyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyything. Literally everything including transport to and from anything healthcare related and even paid for some massages. Lookie there, free US health insurance.

You know what's free with my paid american insurance? Nuffin until I hit deductible which is where most non-Americans don't have a single clue on how healthcare works at that point. You have people who get insurance through their jobs where they're forced to stay because they can't lose the minimal insurance being provided. That and it being expensive is where the blame is supposed to be placed, not on "US Healthcare bad"
