The entire American Medical Industrial Complex is designed to extract as much money from customers as possible.
Fun fact, therapy is usually not covered by Medicare at all( and when it is you can literally have a year wait). So you have a system in which working class person just have to get through it, and anyone with means will be told they have dozens of things wrong with them.
Better Help sells user information. The venture capitalist tech bros have a new market.
When I was at my lowest, broke , without any health insurance at all, I had a friend who listened to me complain about my latest eviction for hours at a time. That did more for me that any therapist ( who almost always watch the clock to cut you off ).
I plan to pay for her children to go to college. I make a tech bro salary and it's not a lot of money to me.
The Quest For Community and Tribe are great books on what's wrong with modern society. In my grandma's time the average person attended church ( I'm am atheist, but I value the community aspects), at least one social club, and she was a member of a union.
How many community connections does the average person have today ?
