Reading about free medical procedures in English is always an experience - eviltoast

Was looking into the procedure of vasectomies (which are freely available in my country) and I always see some line like this in Wikipedia for most interesting medical procedures or other important services.

The U.S. Affordable Care Act (signed into law in 2010) does not cover vasectomies, although eight states require state-health insurance plans to cover the cost.

Why the heck are Unitedstadians even patriotic at all if they live on the basis of “this basic thing is only ensured on a state-by-state basis”.

    That fits well with when I was talked to my mom about this. She thought those other countries medical care system were the worst and that if we had anything like that, it would ruin our precious predatory debt gouging system. She thought we lived in one of the best countries on this planet when it’s like, no we don’t, we live in one of the most evil. It also kind of makes me sad she believed that we lived on the best country on the world because before she passed away this year, she had like so much medical debt and she was worried of going homeless. I dunno, it just really upsetting.
