In case anyone is wondering what it is all about. https://asulahpokokna.pages.dev/story-https-www.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/The-Master-Plan-of-Parasitic-Capitalism-tRUMP-61eea83908eb2.jpg
"Capitalism" is a loaded term, much as "Socialism" versus "Democratic Socialism." Instead of "Capitalism," I wish people would use the term, "Parasitic Capitalism," in order to more accurately describe the abuses of the system.

How can the US health system justify these costs? In Australia, when I have an appointment with my GP, it costs me $76.50 (approximately $56 US). Medicare refunds me $39.10 [approximately $29 US]. For an American to have to pay the equivalent of $273 AU (insured) or $635 AU (uninsured) for exactly the same service is nothing short of scandalous. I can stay in an Australian public hospital (usually in a 4-6 bed ward) and pay... $0. The government covers the cost of my bed, meals and medical care (by doctors and other staff employed by the hospital). If I want my own doctor, I can choose to be privately insured, and I can then be cared for in a private hospital.
