And this is why you don’t get universal healthcare. The fact is capitalism thinks you’re too expensive to keep alive. If you’re not putting in more than you’re taking out, at all times, you’re a loss. You are not worth anything except your productivity and what you can provide to your overlords. Put in a lifetime of hard work, have the audacity to live in a human body that ages and slows down, well sucks to suck, healthcare is only to be paid into not to be given to those in need.
We have capitalism and public health care im the EU.
If you stop using "le capitalism bad" more people will lisent to you.
The EU has socialist / non-capitalist parties that have fought tooth and nail for socialized medicine and labor protections. The US doesn't have non-capitalist parties to fight for the working class.
So in other words, the US only has capitalism and our government only represents the interests of capital (our government doesn't do anything unless capitalists are allowed to get their hands in it to funnel public funds into private pockets)
