I see what you’re saying, and it makes a lot of sense. You don’t know what you don’t know. I’ve never traveled to another country and had to use healthcare outside of the US. The state I live in provides health insurance to those who can’t afford it, and I was very grateful to be able to use it for the births of all 4 of my children. Had I not been covered by state healthcare the cost for each birth is ~$10,000 and most insurance plans don’t cover more than $2000 of that. That adds up fast. I would be more inclined to agree with your point of view if healthcare costs in the US were similar to just 30 years ago, but they have dramatically increased and there’s no end in sight.
