lol I'm not barred from healthcare, that is not the issue

the question is, what is healthcare to you? we don't have enough doctors, no medicines, no supplies, no beds, our hospitals are barely functional thanks to lack of maintenance.

instead of giving more funds to our public healthcare they are stretching it even more, they won't even make new clinics, they are repurposing other clinics for specialized healthcare to make room for this policy

cool now we have universal access to a declining healthcare system where nobody wants to go because it is less stressful to just suck it up and medicate yourself (you would be paying for the meds anyway) instead of spending a whole day waiting inside a clinic on the summer heat with no AC

and that's if you are lucky enough to be in an urban area, rural clinics are in even worse conditions and anything other than a flu would require you to go to a city (as you said, an hour drive minimum but way more depending on the area)
