No way for any pro Big Pharma Big Healthcare Big Insurance shill to spin it.

The US for-profit healthcare system is the world's largest wealth transfer/wealth consolidation (from the masses up to the top of the pyramid) scheme ever devised. Well over 55, 60 trillion usd over just the next ten years will be spent on it.

What makes it truly a scam is that unless you are wealthy and/or have the luck of having a superb insurance plan, you will often get nowhere near world class care compared to most other advanced Western nations, and even if you do, it may well come with an insanely high cost basis that destroys you economically. Yet many (most?) Americans have been utterly gaslit into believing they have the greatest heathcare system on the planet. It's mass delusional.
