The current for-profit insurance system is designed to keep people from getting care. The failure of that is twofold. It's cruel on the one hand and on the other hand, it's inefficient and extremely expensive.

I remember when I was a kid going to the doctor fairly regularly, now I can’t afford to and finding a general practicioner doctor who takes my insurance is a hunt for a unicorn.

I don’t know why so many people recoil when I say our country is in collapse, there is no other word for it.
