Why does the left make it seem like people are going billions of dollars into debt for a general checkup, and if you get a serious disease your family will be paying medical bills for generations?

I never seen a medical bill much more than what my copayment is. My grandmother before she passes was in a nursing home then in hospice, which we all know is very expensive and her Medicare took care of it. No one I know in real life has ever said something along the lines of “I don’t want to go to the doctor/hospital because it is too expensive”.

The fantasy situations the left pushes are situation of people that are poor and unemployed, yet we have systems in place to take care of people in these situations. On top of that, if you are poor and unemployed, does it even matter if you rack up a ton of debt? You can declare bankruptcy and there will be nothing to seize because you apparently have nothing. But this is a very rare situation, and usually the fault of the person because again, we have systems in place to take care of everyone.

I think the whole healthcare thing is such a big issue on Reddit because you get kicked off your parents insurance I think at age 25, which is an age lots of Reddit users are around. They don’t want to get a job, they don’t want to pay for their own insurance, and they don’t want to lose the quality of care of their parents good insurance so they bitch and moan.
