Why would anyone live there? Let alone believe it's the best country in the world

What I don't understand is why my neighbors here in the US stress over medical debt when you can simply not pay it. It won't even impact your credit score anymore. Just ignore the debt and move on with your life. I've been doing this for decades.

That doesn't sound right. The US is constructed to maximize profits for its oligarchy, there's no 7th yacht in allowing the serfs not to pay off their medical debts?

You’d be surprised how much of this system relies on people being actual suckers.

Accounts receivable can be expensive, at a certain point it becomes more profitable to write off the debt for tax credits.
