    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.

        Couldn’t be more wrong.
        We have public health DESPITE capitalism.
        Capitalism didn’t produce them, they were fought for and earned with sweat and blood by the people, same as workers rights.
        And slowly but surely capitalism is breaking them down and eroding them.
        Slowly but surely we are creeping towards the same situations in EU.
        All thanks to your precious capitalism.

        We have capitalism and public health care im the EU.

        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)
