A health industry dedicated to maximizing extraction cannot possibly provide an affordable health care. Affordability nor care are amongst its purpose. Extraction is.
Providing Health services is a side effect, and one to be minimized while maximizing profit.
There is no care in the system. It is barbaric, inhumane, brutal, cruel, unforgiving.

- muzani 1y agoThere's the invisible foot aka bounded rationality = people act with the info they have, and often not the knowledge of delays. People will extract all they can, and even support high prices among other extractors. They're not thinking about healing. They're thinking about their kids (who are probably doing medical school), their loans, and getting compensated for their sacrifices – the years of schooling, late nights, low initial pay. Eventually they overextract, same with the tech bubble leading into layoffs. It doesn't take that long, but long enough for people to be blindsided by it.
