In the past few weeks, one thing has become crystal clear in America: The public outrage after the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson exposed a seething fury over the health insurance racket. No amount of media finger-wagging at public perversity or partisan attempts to frame Luigi Mangione’s act as a statement from the left or right can hide the reality: The people, from all sides, are livid about the healthcare system—and with good reason.
I take issue with this.
The real Grinch was perfectly capable of changing his opinion when confronted with new information and there's no reason to drag his name through the mud like that.
Health insurance is literally the tip of the iceburg. Its all corporations and strong arm interactions with consumers at all levels.
We are sick of it but we ain't gonna be doing anything about it same as always
So what? What are you all gonna do about it???? Nothing.
Already, the public fury is less visible. I could graph it and it would look like a radioactive half life curve.
America truly is not to be improved for a while, by any reasonable measure or metric.
This is why optimists hope it will not get too worse for the average person, but instead just exist as is fur many many many years. Because it cannot get better, at all, except for a minority of wealthier folks. Maybe the top 5% ?
