      Or maybe they live somewhere with universal health care and don’t need health insurance?

        10% of the US is millionaires and wealth is quite segregated by location so depending on where you grow up or live, it’s entirely possible to mostly only know rich people while most of the country lives paycheck to paycheck and a large amount of people can’t afford healthcare. It’s inequality again, yay

        Just mentioning this because the thread itself and the person you responded about referred to the US. Not actually American myself.
