In my country that isn’t a thing. Everybody has to have private insurance and if they can’t afford it, the State subsidizes it.
And if somehow you get something done that isn’t covered by the insurance, they can’t pursue you for that debt and it doesn’t show up when doing things like getting a lease.
It’s not perfect (insurance costs a ton and keeps rising) but at least it’s not some dystopian nightmare where people can’t afford to get care in one of the World’s top economies.
Whilst it would be lovely if us Englishmen didn’t have student loans, they could be a whole lot worse. We only pay them once we earn over a certain threshold, and they’ll disappear after 30 years. Plus our unis are funded in large part by international students (which has its own issues), so Brits’ course fees are slightly subsidised.
The United States is a free country and freedom to shape your own destiny is one of the hallmarks of being an American.
So everyone whining about how hard it is should have thought long and hard about the consequences of their actions when they decided not to be born rich.

And medical debt.

What is student loans?
Money you have to take out for college and then pay back at 10% interest.
I’m sorry is this an I-love-getting-fucked-in-the-ass thing that I’m too Scottish to understand?
Yes.
See, Americans dont have an England to fuck over its citizens, so we have to do it all by ourselves.
And then blame it on the boogieman
And who’s fault is that?
They put the mugshots on their paper money.
FiFY, now the entire world can use it

Not good, but hey at least it’s not the US(!)
You missed the chance to say “At least it’s not the US, eh?”
