Weekly Jobless Claims Rise to 6.6 Million
6.6M people without insurance in the US.
Good.
What could possibly go wrong?

Pretty much anybody who is unemployed can file for state medicaid insurance (public insurance). When I quit my last job I got it. Of course my doctor at the time refused to see me as a patient anymore, because medicaid claims paid out like $20 less per office visit than sweet private insurance...
I love my trips to the US, always had great times there and made some lifelong friends. Even thought of moving there once. But jeez, the healthcare system there is fucked up. Sure, we pay for it through taxation, but our free-at-the-point-of-service UK National Health Service is something I always took for granted, until I visited US.
And I'm always shocked by the number of TV adverts pushing prescription pharma products. Something we never see here.
