I mean, if the argument is that exogenous supply constraints are the root of most of our economic problems, and that the economy is rigged for the upper-middle class and the billionaires are just along for the ride, we probably share a lot of politics, but either way: my point on this thread is just: start with the total picture of where money in our system goes.
A lot of people think most of it is going to insurers and pharma companies, which is the literal opposite of what's happening.
Yeah agreed the issue with medical costs in the US isn’t primarily pharma or insurers.
It’s just easier to blame them companies because they’re more centralized. Easy to point and say “look at the billions in profit”. Doctors as a whole are likely make many billions more in profit but it’s harder to see and understand that.
