I’d argue that the actual truth of that story is totally secondary. It might be false and probably is, but the main premise of a draining, soul-crushing “healthcare” system is the point. And nobody would probably question that.
Making up stories to prove a position only weakens the position, IMO. We have plenty of real life stories why the healthcare indsutry (shouldn’t even have to call it an industry) is disgusting without needing to fabricate things.
I think it doesn’t even need real life stories, everybody knows about it anyway. Even the people NOT in the USA do know.
But basically you’re right of course.

This anectode being wrong would not change it.
