Yeah this judge is a jerk off for saying this is what America's about when this country should provide necessary care for his son and not make this 96-year-old guy drive. What an out of touch judge
He's just saying that America is all about compassion for one another.
Now, obviously America is actually about saying fuck you to strangers, shooting children, and sending all your money to Elon Musk, but it's a nice sentiment regardless.
I don't think it was intended to be a comment on the healthcare system. I think the judge's dismissal is based on the fact that it's pretty obviously unjust for the father to have to go through all of this at his age because of a broken healthcare system.
Not every statement needs to be a sweeping political assessment.
I was quite touched while watching this piece but reading your comment regarding health care, as a Canadian citizen with access to universal healthcare - which admittedly is not perfect - I tend to agree with your sentiment
