Maybe that means that the Americans aren’t that wealthy and the money numbers don’t mean anything because money isn’t wealth.

It’s real cool living in a society where poor people dying is so normalized that people are shocked when rich people die in a similar way.

Yeah because we absolutely refuse to invest in good medical infrastructure instead insisting on a byzantine network of isolated capitalistic care providers increasingly pressured by market forces to withold care mediated by a parasitic private insurance market. Maybe the wealthiest percentile can afford their own private infrastructure but anyone below that, even people making 200k a year, aren’t going to be able to afford their own hospital, let alone a network of doctors working in tandem like is typical in basically every even partially industrialized society.

Not to mention the pollution, consumption, or social rot. Those probably are not good for us either.
