Yea but the rest of us will still benefit. The US is like 5% of the world's population, give or take. Okay there's other countries with shitty health care systems (developing ones where they just haven't gotten there yet), but I'd reckon like 80% of the world's population would have easy and cheap or free access to it through government funded healthcare, or at least a better private system than the US. That's still a net good. Y'all just need to get your shit in order, but unfortunately at this point it's going to be harder and harder to do it without violence.
