Lol, only third world shit holes and the USA have for profit health care for the wealthy. Which is why third world shit holes and the USA have the worst health outcomes for their populations.
Yeah… well that’s what happens when the State intervenes in the free market, whether that be the “Affordable” Care Act, or the airline industry, or the automotive industry, corn subsidies, and the list goes on. They all have “unintended” consequences.
And to this point in particular, it’s the reason why private (read sovereign) medical practices have been driven out of business, and have coerced well-intended medics to join Big Harma systems as contractors, and only be allowed to push whatever they “allow” or else risk being thrown out, or lose their licenses. Don’t you dare deviate from the algorithmic medicine we designate, or you’ll get what’s coming. Reason why you get billed $100 for a damn 2¢ bandage.
Rockefeller medicine at its best. Goes all the way back to the Flexner Report of 1910. From making the barrier of entry into practicing insurmountable, to dismissing all other disciplines as quackery (holistic, massages, chiropractic, herbology, acupuncture, etc.) They treat the body as if it’s a car with isolated systems that have nothing to do with one another (A/C, electrical, exhaust, tires), and the main goal is to make a lifetime customers… not kill you, but barely keep you alive while they “treat” the dis-ease by tackling the symptom, not the underlying root cause.
At the end of the day, people need to stop delegating aspects of their lives to third-party “experts” (education to professors, health to doctors, safety to the police, finances to Wall Street, privacy to Big Tech), and take responsibility and accountability of their lives and their loved ones. But alas… sheep always prefer to be herded.
