There is some small progress in that direction, but the organizations which would allow us to actively act have long ago been dismantled. We’re only just recently begging to rebuild our unions here. I hope this time, organized labor is more resilient.

I usually shrug and tell myself you could collectively fix it if you wanted to.

You underestimate just how propagandized we are over here. The State hardly needs to invest in propaganda when “grind/hustle” culture exists. Are you in a position where you have to choose between health or financial ruin? That’s on you for not hustling hard enough.

At a work event the other day health care came up, and one of my coworkers said something like “But in europe you have to wait six months to see a doctor.” I started to say “And in the US, you get slow AND expensive” but decided to just hit the “Let’s not talk about this at a work event” button instead.

You don’t have to wait longer at the hospital in Europe than you do in America. It’s the same. I’ve been to both, although different places (states, EU countries) are different.
Yeah, there’s a wait for a particular doctor of your choice. That’s the same anywhere. Good doctors have a waiting list.
