Topic: I know that the people of America want affordable heathcare

But in my defense, you see, the thing about insurance companies is they, uh, how do I say this now? The thing about insulin is that some people need it to survive, and you was poor anyway if you can’t afford it, you get me? What’s the point of being alive if you’re poor? It’s like what Winston Churchill said about socialism, it’s the equal spreading of misery. Wouldn’t you at least know that I’m happy? If I don’t get this paper, ain’t nobody getting paper, but at least I’m getting paper though. Wouldn’t you rather know that somebody in America is getting paper?
Now I know y’all will say that’s greedy and shit, but in my defense:

The idea that functional and affordable public health and government programs are socialist is a lie. It’s a dodge by bureaucrats and politicians who don’t care, by insurers who jack up rates, and by healthcare providers with wildly different pricing. The problem is the big money wants a big tollbooth between you and your health provider to administer it and collect the returns.

This. If anything, the ultra purist free market capitalists should want a population that is healthy. Healthy people go out and do things and contribute to the economy. Healthy people live longer and thus put more into the economy. Healthy people want to reproduce, meaning more people to contribute to the economy. The problem is that what we have in the US is a sick perversion of a free market, essentially unregulated (which sounds oxymoronic, but any capitalist system will devolve into this mess without appropriate intervention).
