    Hyperbole should be exaggerated beyond what a reasonable person thinks is possible. They shouldn’t mislead. So it’s not a hyperbole if some people might think that people in the US may be outright refused care if they are dying and don’t have insurance. Which is why I commented originally, to clarify that.

      Congratulations, you just defined hyperbole as non-existing, since for every proposition you can find someone who believes it.

      Just accept that you didn’t get the joke and move on.
