    That’s surprising given that fewer and fewer people can afford treatment.

      Hospitals are closing at unprecedented rates.

        Probably because people can’t afford care and private equity has been bleeding out private hospitals.

          Most of the closures are in rural areas caused by maga legislation.

          Just desserts for the wannabe Nazis.

          Medicaid expansion is strongly associated with better hospital financial stability and access, particularly for rural/safety-net hospitals.

          But it’s okay. Because the Republicans will tell you they don’t need hospitals. They’ll tell you I’ve never been to the hospital I was born in the tub in my front room. I don’t need no vaccinations I got God to protect me. Until they do need a doctor. Then they go full Jesus and wonder why God has forsaken them.

    Do we have a good comparison against the other g7 nations? I know they all practice some form of accessible care, but it’d be neat to get a comparison.
