        There’s nothing capitalist about American healthcare. If we had a free market I’d be able to buy my antidepressants ($15/mo) without seeing a doctor ($120).

          It sounds like you’re describing a free market, not capitalism.

        By “crippling” here you mean unable to participate in the market. That’s the thing that’s crippled when debt affects a person’s life.

        A socialist had no access to the market anyway. They’re born into that crippled state.

      I need to rate my employees based on a matrix with 9 fields so my boss can decide whom to fire because made up numbers are not as high as they anticipated them to be.
