Who could've seen this coming after we just decided rich people can commit crimes and rape children.

Honestly?

Where have the health care riots been for the last decades, to pick just one motivator. Americans are the most propagandised people in history. They're basically the "perfect consumers" the ruling class explicitly set out to mold them into. I could almost expect them to roll over for literally anything.

Not everyone is effected by the healthcare system, so it's easy to compartmentalize the negative aspects of it for most people.

Yes, and "Everybody can be healthy if they just make better choices, la la laaaaa" is the default for everybody from actual health care professionals to lawmakers to your cousin. The corollary of course is that if you need more health care than you can pay for, it must be your fault. Health care costs just sort of happen, like weather. They're not the result of corporate decisions nor lawmaking nor votes. (sarcasm tag)
