Look, that’s how the gig economy works. either succeed, or you fail. It’s critical that you spend 100 hours a week making that extra three cents while driving for Uber So you can make your car payment and pay for that medication that you desperately need to stay alive. No one rich gives a shit if you actually have real health insurance And they’re not about to let their precious dollars go to you through taxes.

No one cares if you’re over 65 in need medical health insurance. get back to work.

The US could have had socialized medicine as well, but the AMA pressured politicians to oppose universal health care. Why would the AMA oppose universal health care? They claimed it was socialism. In fact the organization strongly supported local organizational rights and defended local AMA societies that enforced Jim Crowe policies. When you read between the lines it’s pretty clear. They didn’t want black people being treated in white hospitals, or black doctors treating white patients.
