Capitalism is uninterested in your healthcare policy. That's your country's failure, not capitalism's, for once.

That's a result of government failures that ossified into a corrupt system benefiting a select few, a scheme which is not unique to capitalism and is actually reminding me of soviet bureaucracy. The distinction is not purely academic, because correctly pointing out that you're not fighting capitalism but corrupt bureaucracy makes reform a much easier sell, which is why healthcare reform is a transpartisan issue until donors and lobbyists get involved. permalink fedilink source parent [–] psud@aussie.zone 1 point 11 months ago (1 child) Unmitigated capitalism.
