The cognitive dissonance is amazing with them. I have experienced similar with people arguing for the benefits of a universal Healthcare system. I have lived most of my life in a country with free healthcare, and I have had (similar) major injuries in my birth country and in the USA. The quality of the medical care here was FAR superior. In my original country, they brought in an intern to STITCH MY FACE UP leaving me with some permanent disfigurement because she obviously fucked up the job. Meanwhile I broke my jaw and severe facial lacerations n America, and within 20 minutes I was being seen by a specialist maxiofacial surgeon committed to making my injuries invisible. Sure it cost some more, but that's what insurance covers, and does so moe effectively than paying into a nanny state that I may never need to utilize.
The dirty secret is those who can afford it will use specialist Pirate Medical options in the UK anyway because the quality is so superior
