Was looking into the procedure of vasectomies (which are freely available in my country) and I always see some line like this in Wikipedia for most interesting medical procedures or other important services.

The U.S. Affordable Care Act (signed into law in 2010) does not cover vasectomies, although eight states require state-health insurance plans to cover the cost.

Why the heck are Unitedstadians even patriotic at all if they live on the basis of “this basic thing is only ensured on a state-by-state basis”.

    It is truly baffling how the Freedom Land has so many barriers for people trying to access a thing that they’re already paying for when it’s useful for them rather than for the KKK. And considering that it was explicit state policy until not that long ago to sterilise non-white people (particularly Native people) and there were even criminal hysterectomies happening in the border camps just 4 years ago it’s no surprise that this is still implicitly policy. A lot of doctors are old enough to have been practising since then without facing any repercussions or re-education. The USA has to end.

    Also this map is fun because it’s not even “always the same map”.
