The American Dream is Dead: Confronting the Harsh Realities of U.S. Healthcare
For generations, the United States has been celebrated as a land of freedom and opportunity, a place where anyone, regardless of their background, can achieve their dreams. This portrayal has been a beacon of hope for millions around the world, prompting countless individuals to leave their home countries in search of a better life. However, upon arrival, many are confronted with a reality starkly different from the idealized version of America they envisioned—one where the healthcare system presents not freedom, but chains. The high costs and restrictive nature of the U.S. healthcare system often leave new arrivals and long-standing citizens struggling to afford basic medical needs, leading to a profound sense of disillusionment and a call for systemic reform to align America’s healthcare practices with its foundational values of liberty and justice for all.
