"They don't give you a choice in the hospital. 'If you leave, you'll die,' they told me. I didn't feel like dying," an Alaskan in medical debt said. "I don't think anyone should have to go into financial ruin to live."
wasn’t it amazing that during a pandemic we managed to give vaccines away. A lot of medical care is disease. Might not be a bad idea to keep that stuff contained in general rather than just under special circumstances.
Yes but also consider this: there’s money to be made from those suffering on the brink of death.
The ownership class sees it as money left on the table that they could have if they keep the money out of the government’s hands.
Happy and healthy workers are more productive but by ensuring that they suffer a little bit (read as a lot) they can siphon money from those workers into their pockets and away from everyone else.
It’s so absolutely fucked up but the cruelty is another means of their exploitation.
What gets me is that healthy people = healthy and productive workers. I’m starting to think the ownership class isn’t as smart as they think they are.

They don’t think of working class people as people.
They’re things, abstracted away from empathy.
