      No kidding.

      This is like healthcare, which every other nation has mostly solved, but the Americans bend over backwards to find the most byzantine “solutions “ for just to avoid taxing the rich and/or implementing a functioning welfare state.

      The latest hysterical example was importing drugs from Canadian pharmacies because apparently buying from a (barely) socialist country is okay, but basic bargaining is somehow immoral.
