I'm not sure I'd say we're ok with it. But what's the alternative? Die? Not really attractive either.
We should just start supporting policies that improve the conditions of the healthcare system, but, that would require a majority of people agreeing to improve things globally. Good luck with that.
How is that not "being OK with it"? Healthcare has been underfunded for decades and we just accept it. The majority consistently votes on "lower taxes" and now it's "iMmIgRaNtS". Healthcare barely matters - unless it's COVID, then suddenly it's an issue.
I don't know about you, but I pretty much don't accept it as it is, and when an opportunity is given, try to nudge things in the right direction. This requires huge, nationwide changes (no matter what country you're in). Not having much leverage individually does NOT mean "accepting it".
