At this point, just establishing universal healthcare should be the centrist compromise.
At this point I’m pretty sure they don’t want to do it because it would be pretty obvious a large portion of the population is just walking around with diseases and conditions caused by their work or American life in general.
Honestly, it seems weird to me, there are certain Succ reforms that seem like they’d BENEFIT capital, healthier workers work harder after all, social stability is also good for business. It seems weird to me how much resistance this basic shit gets from the American ruling class since it really wouldn’t be costing them that much and they’d likely see some benefits from it in the long run.
I’m almost convinced the US bourgeois have drank too much of their own Kool Aid and actually believe this AnCap crap they’ve been propagating for years.
Hey look they are talking about the company I work for. My company got sold to private equity then they bought up another company that has like sub 25 bed hospitals in rural areas throughout places like Texas and “merged” them with us. They did this by not using their own money but by taking out large bank loans. Cowards cant even live up to their “I am risking my money here” personas they like to project.
Lots of shitty things a hospital can do to soak you, even if you’ve only stepped through the door once
No wayyyyy
Americans about to realize that private for profit healthcare isn’t as good as they thought it was.
Pretty sure most Americans realized that the first time they had to pay an insurance premium or definitely the first time their insurance denied a claim
The recent anti-vax nonsense that reached a fever peak when COVID broke out is obviously part of today’s culture wars, but could never have thrived without a deep, deep mistrust of the US healthcare system that the private for-profit industry has fostered over the last several decades
Which of course makes them untrustworthy of public healthcare, like someone hired to throw shit at someone and then claim my greatest enemy hired them to do it

I hate that this exists
No way, I was taught that private equity brings reforms to distressed organizations resulting in higher efficiency and better outcomes for customers. Surely the invisible had will correct this obvious failure of the market
I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise.
