Maybe but it’s trading one cartel for one that’s not as bad.
Which is really saying something considering how bad these companies are.
But imagine being gate kept from life because you don’t have enough money for it. Imagine going to the Doctor over and over and over again and then never be able to find fucking shit yet managing to always charge you hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of dollars every fucking time. Until finally over a decade later, one just randomly says oh you need this super simple drug To take for a week to clear it. Thousands upon thousands upon thousands of dollars years of suffering, and yeah, not one of them could figure it the fuck out? Until one doctor took one look at my skin and knew? But the others still were owed a paycheck for it? So yeah, it is trading one cartel for another but fuck the healthcare cartel. What the fuck did we expect to happen?
If you don’t save peoples lives and you don’t give them a way to find healthcare then you deserve what you fucking get and we are all going to suffer for this. We are all going to suffer for allowing these quacks all over the place. Selling bullshit all over the place. Telling us vaccines don’t work. Yeah It’s trading one for another, but at least one isn’t going to charge us a fucking car just to tell us to go fucking home and pass the dead baby by ourselves and to come back if it doesn’t work out so they can get another car out of me to save my life.
Yeah, I got some fucking beef with Healthcare professionals.
The idiocy I see in these comments makes me weep for humanity. Most people have NO IDEA what it's like to need and receive medical help. So much so that they want to deny tools to the very people who need them most.
