Are you rich? Then yes. If you’re not rich, then you need to suffer and struggle for needing to use valuable resources that could be used on people more deserving; like the wealthy.
It’s not that they’re hoarding scarce healthcare resources so they’re available for the wealthy. They could provide care for everyone, but then the system wouldn’t run at the desired profit level.
i didn’t say healthcare resources. money is a resource and you must give it to your betters if you want access to affordable healthcare. they are hoarding one resource by denying access to another.
There is also a giant undercurrent of wealth ministry in the American upper classes. Since about the 1960’s they’ve been pushing the idea that God blesses good people with money and punishes bad people by making them poor. It’s mixed with the Protestant Work Ethic so they also see poor people as lazy and undeserving.
It’s a completely self serving and self fulfilling ideology but it makes them feel good so we all have to suffer because we lost the lottery at birth.
The mentality goes back much farther than the 1960s. In a traditional Christian family the father is the giver of rules and justice. “Wait til your father gets home!” Kids learn that doing what daddy says leads to rewards and disobedience leads to punishment. Follow the rules and you prosper, break them and you suffer. This translates very directly into thinking poor people must be bad people. They must have broken the rules somewhere along the line because look how they’re being punished. Wealthy people must have done all the right things in all the right ways, because they’re getting rewarded with prosperity and that’s what’s supposed to happen. f you’re conditioned into that mindset, class differences make perfect sense.
To be fair, neither party was going to pull the trigger on Medicare For All. We’re not getting universal healthcare until the working class stops letting wedge issues divide it.
You can get whatever you want, but you have a $37,849.45 bill because you used the wrong door.
See, that door you used was operated by Attenya Healathus, not the Hospital, which is operated by Wellmeat (formerly Agape Plalauthis) so your care was not covered. If you had entered through the door (as outlined in your EOB) to the right, it would’ve only been an $800 copay for your splinter removal.
Oh ya, you can get care. And then you fight with insurance about whether or not that was the right doctor to use or if it was really necessary in the first place. But insurance won’t talk to the hospital and the hospital won’t talk to insurance so you have to talk to each of them in turn while waiting on hold every time. It’s a wonderful system.
Can’t I just get care? I got a whole grown ass person’s life to live, and i can’t be an expert in everything.

More that people wouldn’t be reliant on shitty jobs for healthcare. The current state of affairs ensures obedient workers.
You could but half the country voted for the guy who hates poor people
To be fair, neither party was going to pull the trigger on Medicare For All. We’re not getting universal healthcare until the working class stops letting wedge issues divide it.
75+ million fascists voted for a fascist.
In most countries you can, yes.
