Is it normal and common for an adult in the United States to not have any sort of health insurance due to it being too pricey?

Yes

No

Yeah and it's fucked up.

America is the world's richest country with some of the worst healthcare.

It's wild. Most US adults will seek medical aid OUTSIDE the country if they need it because it's not only better quality, it's cheaper. So much cheaper you basically can get a vacation AND your medical appointments for less than a single appointment in America.

It's bad.
Frankly, while Canada's health system is hardly better, it's still leagues better than America's.

About 90% of Americans are insured but even with insurance the medical system isn't affordable. Basically the hospitals, government, and big pharma are mass scamming. People can be charged 800 dollars for medicine that costs pennies or 1000 for a ambulance ride.

Lots of people do not have it. Mostly young single people that have no health problems

No, especially since most employers provide it.. Granted it costs every month. But the employers are supposed to pay half of it.
