Replying to @Eric_Erins
It was elevated to the level of a Basilica by Pope Pius XII in the 1950’s, which this mural commentates. You can see the Chicago board of trade, what appears to be the prudential building, the Wrigley building and Tribune Tower

The utter ruins of what was once the gorgeous rotunda of the JN Adams Hospital in Western New York. Once has to imagine what this must have looked like at its peak.

People are too absolute when talking about US healthcare. American healthcare is good if you have good insurance and bad if you manage to fall between the cracks and end up with no/poor insurance coverage, which happens very easily, especially for people 26-64 in red states.
