The ideal patient will die with an estate that is worth exactly what it says on the final bill 😊😊

You’re completely right, but you could replace for profit healthcare with for profit anything and still be right.

Exactly. Capitalism is used to extract as much money as possible and concentrate it on the 1 %

As opposed to Communism, where they extract as much wealth and labor as possible and concentrate it on the 0.1% (the party leadership).

You’re comparing best case capitalism with worst case communism.

When communists concentrate wealth, they are corrupt, the system is not working as intended.

When capitalism concentrates wealth, it’s working as intended.

Agreed on the premise! Probably not about the conclusion.

Best case capitalism is not “wealth concentrates on the 1%”. Best case capitalism (which in fact has happened in many places around the world) is “every gets richer”.

Where does the money come from that makes everyone richer?

You can only have more if somebody else has less (money concentration)

Well that’s basic economics, isn’t it. Wealth is increased (not just moved) in several ways in a free market system.
