    The only people who like it are people who don’t have to use it.

      That’s not really true though. My family has excellent insurance, and the whole process of having a kid and all the pediatric visits since have been great (both in terms of care and cost).

      That said, our healthcare system sucks at a population level, and I certainly recognize that. But I think recognition that our system works very well for a small part of the population is an important thing to acknowledge.

      I certainly “hold an unfavorable view” of the US healthcare system…but that’s not because it doesn’t work for me personally.
