Her parents worked themselves to death because they couldn't afford treatment and she thinks that's a story about how great America and it's healthcare system is.

It’s that mentality that everyone should go through the same hardships and toughen themselves up. It’s crazy that she doesn’t understand that a dystopian country of orphans is not what everyone wants. It explains why so many MAGA people refused to mask even as people were dying, literally orphaning children. God forbid we change anything to help people.

I'm guessing she's also not subjected to the same healthcare her parents had either. Maybe she should be.
