"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

What does affordable healthcare system mean?

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

To be unfair to the US health system, part of the reason it's so expensive is because it's corrupt AF to ensure big pharma makes a ton of money handing out crap people don't need.

What does an affordable healthcare system mean?
It means and is intended to be accesible by everyone because it is or supposed to be affordable meaning anyone can pay for it at a reasonable cost. I dont have insurance and I get sick rarely. So, I dont pay it and dont have insurance because I dont nees it and I dont want my money to end up in the vaults of Uncle McDuck.
