You can't go to a doctor in most places without health insurance. I would rather wait in line for a while than have to scrape by barely able to afford medical care. Universal healthcare isn't a perfect solution but it's better than telling people to go fuck themselves and figure it out on their own.

Right?! It’s literally like saying “ugh. Really? I have to wait an extra hour or two? Can’t we just, like, let the poor people die?” It’s so weird.

227 citizens in America die every day because they can't afford basic medical care. That's 80,000 preventable deaths a year.
