Are you satisfied with the healthcare in America?

Well, I'm a socialist, so obviously I support universal healthcare, but even back when I was a capitalist liberal, I supported universal healthcare. It's not incompatible with capitalism. Most of the world is capitalist and has universal healthcare.
It should be treated just like the other things that keep us alive and well like the police force protecting us from violence (well, ideally that's what they'd do) and the fire department from fires. Imagine getting a bill from having to call 911 for a crime or fire.

That’s how it is for most people around here. If you don’t have healthcare benefits, then you’re ****ed up if something happens to you. Then again, a medical bill is surprisingly cost friendly in this area, since everything in St. Louis is affordable!

Our commercialized healthcare needs to be given a hard reset. The fact that it would be cheaper for me to see doctors in Europe without health insurance vs seeing doctors in US with health insurance is laughable! The bill for getting blood work is $700? This is why insurance companies should never buy out politicians. Capitalism at its finest!

Lol, you pinpoint the issue in your first sentence and then turn around and foolishly fault Capitalism in your second sentence. Most people don't know what Capitalism is, clearly.
