This is not true. There is no expectation at all. If you get sick you can get free public health care if you choose. If you dont want to its your choice. Most people dont want to be sick or die though so theres not even a need for an expectation. No idea where you heard that but its fake news. Its not actually free anyway because we pay for it with taxes. Many people have private health care because they prefer to be able to choose their doctor and have a private room and wait less time. With the public system only emergency surgeries have priority, everything else theres a waiting list. With private care you still end up with a bill. You have to pay the gap between the cost and the amount your insurance pays. However people do not end up in deep debt or go bankrupt like in the USA. The USA system is a fucking disgrace
Do most Democrats hate America?
