    This would work if the services were all state run and the fee was like a one off controlled price.

      This meme really misses by not making note of healthcare plans (which act as a subscription) and renting an apartment/house

      It really feels like the American healthcare system is a few years away from a "a la carte" model (as if it's not that way in some places already) Super interesting because that type of model was heavily demonized back in the Ajit Pai/net neutrality days, now it's completely normalized.

        Yep, that was the beginning of the normalization. Since then the propagandistic power of The Internet seems to have increased 10 fold. It's the most powerful totalitarian normalization tool we've ever seen and ironically the most fit to for actual democracy.
