This is an overly paternalistic point of view that robs these people of their agency.

They've spent their lives participating and interacting within the current political framework. Blaming all problems at the feet of "morally bankrupt leaders" is hyperbolic populist rhetoric to absolve personal responsibility.

What's your ideal healthcare situation and how do we get there from the current one?

Broad platitudes like "everyone should have access to healthcare" doesn't count

Above my pay grade. Would be good to look at the countries that have a lower death rate per 100k and see what they are doing.

Most likely we need to reform the insurance industry, but systemic changes are definitely needed.
