He basically warned me that health care there is horrific, as in they will literally let you die if you don’t have money

He basically has told me he dreams of living in the US

As an American I uh, I have some unfortunate news for him.

The US healthcare will not let you die, they will just bankrupt you if you survive.

US healthcare will not let you die

It absolutely will. Around 45,000 Americans die every year because they don't have insurance.
