it's kinda mental that the state of medicare in the USA is so bad that smart well-paid engineers still end up dying over things like flu, because they couldn't get the basic ass care they needed because it cost tens of thousands for even a basic checkup without stay.

the USA has really shown it's sliding into third world country state where only the rich aristocrats can afford healthcare. Is apartheid for welfare a thing?

@anthropy for it to be apartheid, their need to be different rules based on where you live and legal requirement for where you can live based on race, religion, or other protected class. So, I mean I don't know if the us isan apartheid. But I belive it would stretch the definition if it were.
