Why is health care so expensive 08 31 2024

Why is health care so expensive?  Because they get in that job and find out it means that they actually have to help other people!  That is a direct contradiction of what a spoiled rich kid, who is likely to become a Doctor, was raised to be!

So a lot of people went to medical school or perhaps finance and couldn't get a job.  And is that the reason their student debt is being forgiven?  Or perhaps better stated like this, that education didn't lead to a more productive economy because those graduates didn't find their way in the network?  Network of what, I ask?

But if indeed we can forgive that debt, then we should also create a loan vehicle to cover the cost of health care services,  and then at some time in the future forgive that too!  How many people were actually healed?  Versus how many people were pushed opiates and shoveled under?

They went to medical school, law school or Finance and came out of there cocooned in snot?  You better believe I would forgive that debt, and any and all related to it; including but not limited to lost profits.

The last time I needed to be stitched up a young black girl stitched me up at the hospital.  She wasn't a Doctor.  Did she attend medical school? She did as good a job as any Doctor has at stitching me up.  It cost me like $2400.00 dollars for two stitches.  I know that she didn't get the lions share of that.

So back to the mainline.  They get in those jobs and find out it actually means they have to help people and have some accountability for doing so.  What happens next?  They raise the price of all those health care services so that they don't have to do too much work like that (actually helping people) and can retire early.  For they themselves are blessed and it goes against a religious element of their being to help those that they subjectively view as not being blessed or perhaps in banality more blessed?  If you look ugly like Igor, one eye bulging, a crooked chin with quick setting to crust viral drool coming out the leeward side of it, a hunchback,  you know you are not blessed no matter what you are taught to believe about yourself?
