The fact that they keep referring to a money making pyramid scheme that gambles on people's lives as a 'health care system' should be the first clue as to why Americans hate all this.

The language around this issue makes talking about it really treacherous. Thompson was part of the health insurance system. Which is how we manage to pay for the health care system.
