I think it is a bit unfair to speak of rose colored glasses there.

There is many people in the US who simply cannot afford an ambulance being called for them, if they are in a serious health situation. The people that have "rose colored" glasses in this context are the people whose options are "any healthcare" and "no healthcare".

Yeah, I'm not sure it's fair to compare the insurance they got through their employer at $400 a month with the basic free tier of a system of universal health care.

Fair comment, but don't think that I don't know how it is. I lived in the US for 28 years. The first 19 or 20 of which I had no insurance of any kind and was also fairly poor. I know all about not being able to see a doctor when sick or hurt.
