The healthcare of the average (not wealthy) American is already shamefully substandard compared to places like Germany. Americans have to worry about things that Germans don't even think about. It certainly is far from perfect here too, and I would love to see the whole system dramatically disrupted, but Germany is way ahead of the US at this point. Even the most conservative German (my stepmother) is shocked at the lack of coverage in the US.
That the Freedom Caucus has somehow managed to convince a sector of the population that this is a good thing defies my comprehension. How is it that one of the richest countries in the world does not see it as a given to provide adequate healthcare to all of its citizens?
