And how many times have the Republicans tried to abolish that program?
So does Massachusetts
Honestly all the NE states look pretty good.
Except Maine… Wtf Maine.
Maine is New England’s Alabama.
I’d always heard New Hampshire referred to as “the south of the north,” but on this map, at least, it looks downright heavenly compared to Maine.
I think they’re more like Pennsylvania or upstate NY. New Hampshire on the other hand… 👀
Maine has the oldest demographic of any state and a median income significantly lower than any other nearby state.
I live in Minnesota and I have health insurance through my employer and I do not qualify for this program. It costs me over $200 just to walk in the door of the clinic. I recently had to get a CT scan and it cost me $1800. A fucking covid test cost $135, even though the state will mail them to me for free.
I don’t make that much money. I can barely afford these bills. I’m a proud Minnesotan, but this post makes it seem like our healthcare is so much better than every other state, and I’m here to tell you that it most definitely is not
Turns out “better health care” is a pretty low bar in the US.
Pretty low is an understatement. It’s buried 10 feet deep.
Why would anyone bury feet?
Here is the punch on you dad joke card…
Also how deep under ground in Liberté units?
I’m not from USSA, but looking from afar it seems to be in its own 2x2x1.5.
This is more a problem with your employers health insurance. Yes Minnesota healthcare is not perfect but if you’re very low income, it’s better than other states. MNsure certainly helped me a bit and provided free healthcare for awhile.
Would it make you feel better to know those with insurance often also pay a lot of money?
Does it make you feel better or worse to say that your employer is terrible?
Do you see any difference between you having a shitty employer and your state protecting citizens from the worst you have suffered?
Spread the news!
It could start at the county level and move its way up.
But the government is literally incapable of ever doing anything right! We made sure of it! How is this possible!!
No this is a failure of government, their job is to make poor people’s/ minority’s lives harder and keep them beaten down /s
As a citizen of a civilized country: What is this “medical debt” Americans keep talking about?
it’s not very nice to shit-talk victims of exploitation
For ages, the American public does obviously not want any kind of social security, because you managed not to fix this basic problem for a number of differend government periods. So we are talking about happily agreeing victims.
A 57% majority of U.S. adults believe that the federal government should ensure all Americans have healthcare coverage.

Now, if they would actually vote that way…
Our system as it is set up is explicitly anti democratic and impossible to reform in any way without the buy in of the very officials who benefit from it being so. There’s no solution but revolution, and the people are so trapped in capitalist realism that many cannot perceive that any option exists other than to slowly watch as our quality of life degrades and our rights are stripped away one by one. There are a minority who are against such things as affordable healthcare, but there is literally studies done showing that regardless of popular support numbers for any given policy, there is no effect on the likelihood said policy will be implemented. Conversely, the support of the top 10% for a policy, or lack thereof, correlates directly to its likelihood of being implemented.
All that to say, this country is definitively a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie.
Haha… I’m in Europe and have health insurance debt …
How did you manage that?
Where I’m from
- You legally have to be insured and the only way to change your insurance is proving that you’re insured somewhere else
- If you’re employed, your employer pays the insurance for you, if you’re unemployed the responsibility to pay is on you
It’s one of the larger sets of cogs and gears in our orphan crushing machine.
As citizen of country that was civilized 25 years ago: I have no idea.
The actual fuck Wyoming?
I mean, that’s like eight people. Pretty easy for one guy with lousy insurance to throw off the results.
The map appears to be by county, so you have Jackson Hole, Cheyenne, Yellowstone, and finally everyone else.
What’s the square guy in top left that’s almost completely red?
Anyone know what’s going on in that one red triangle in Pennsylvania? I’m not familiar with that part of PA and nothing stands out on a map
Aside from that, all of the northeast except Maine showing well.
Wait, I thought most states did? Meant for the really low income people on food stamps and cash assistance?
Also, Jesus Christ Wyoming.
yo be fair, wyoming has a population smaller than major states bigger cities, so having access to a doctor in that reletively speaking, spread out isnt that easy, nor momentarily desireable for a doctor that would work there unless theyre heavily compensated.
I wanna see how this correlates with people who just refuse to go to a doctor because they are afraid of/hate doctors. Not likely to incur medical debt if you just never visit a doctor.
Arkansas doing surprisingly well
I want to know how. I live here and am scared of medical debt. Maybe we just don’t have doctors
That reminds me I think I owe my dentist $80.
Hawaii looks even better
