Just another example of something that could be universal if we taxed the rich appropriately.

    Most doctors don’t make enough to be in the class of people who are ruining the world

      At this point, doctors being rich is an out of date stereotype from before today’s rich guys screwed us, and the doctors, out of the good economy we would’ve had. This is the fundamental misunderstanding holding the idea back from mainstream audiences, they seem to believe “eat the rich” means literally to destroy anybody who makes as much as a doctor or lawyer makes, forgetting these are simply further examples of often abused workers, same as the person cobbling shoes, welding, cooking, whatever.

        “Eat the rich” is pointlessly vague anyways. “Unionize” is just one word and gets a lot more done. Doctors are already nearly in a union.

      I didn’t say they were rich. I still can’t afford to go to the doctor though, so the distinction isn’t significant to my experience of not having medical care.

        But they are not wealthy nor the ones deciding that cost

        You did say doctors were rich. Otherwise, who is “this is just another handout to the wealthy” referring to? And like the other commenter mentioned, doctors aren’t usually the ones setting their own costs.
