I think about this a lot. It literally is a disaster, a complete catastrophe; but Americans are so used to it that it’s invisible like the air around them. It’s too bad the term woke was co-opted because it really is like waking up. It doesn’t have to mean waking up to capitalism and becoming a Marxist. It can simply mean seeing through the veil of capitalist realism and the extremely bad situation we’re already in.
If we took a system that our country does reasonably well — let’s say food safety — and fucked it up as badly as our healthcare, I think people would be extremely unhappy. But with healthcare we’ve just never had it good to begin with.
I've started calling it out. My mom is specifically getting pissed off about it and it's cracking me up. Any casual it's just the way it is comment gets met with a no. You are allowing this to happen right now and stating it is what it is is defeatist.
Eventually they gotta wake up to the reality we should be killing every single heathcare insurer and insurance worker till it's resolved.
We pay them to deal with the care for us. So we also need to attack them when they completely fucking fail us.
