Why do you think insurance companies are so happy to pay these exorbitant sums to the medical industry?

Like what is there motivation?

Anyone with a brain can see none of this makes sense. You have planted an entire forest of bullshit above that nobody can verify is true or not.

The middle class is being wiped out. Everyone knows this. It's happening from all angles and everyone knows medical bills are one of the main weapons used by the government to do it.

I have no idea what you're asking.

We're in full agreement!

If only I'd linked the study!

Yes, with more people moving to the upper class than the lower.[0] And the increase in lower-class households is totally unrelated to the fact that all US population growth is driven by low-skill immigration!

Of course! Democratic governments with consumer-driven economies are notorious for their hatred of the middle class!

Ok well you made me think twice about a few things and I will cede some ground to you and I hope you are right.

I might have a warped view of reality from reading too much of the chans, echo chamber of similar friends etc.

The American Insurance companies paying out $1000 for a pill that costs $20 in Europe in my mind is just the Insurance companies actively enabling a situation where insurance companies are compulsory and a situation where anyone can be bankrupted if these companies refuse to pay the bill

Democratic governments with consumer-driven economies = demon-cratic with manipulated plugged in naive people in satanic-greed-driven economies

US population growth is drven by low-skill immigration = weimar situation is developing all around your house and neighborhoods and soon you will be outnumbered and the economy will collapse taking you down with it

In my mind the USA is an absolute sh*t hole now compared to how it was before the 1970s. Everyone is a wage slave working insane number of hours , both parents are forced to do it and being middle class or upper middle class is as bad as being lower class now. Like dont you have to wage slave just the same and you just get more material possessions which are meaningless ? Is your child hood not spent in a prison like building being forced to do rote memorization ? Are you not angry about that and how it was to condition you to work as a wage slave ?

Isin't a large percentage of the population on drugs , ssris, drinking soma (coffee), binging on food and now incest filled porn tubes, is this all to cope emotionally ?

A self destructive way of living , a slow suicide of the nation ? This is the culture there in my eyes.

Im the type of guy who loves a nice walk in the morning along the beach and then to get working on his hobbies and intellectual interests for the rest of the day in peace. I can fit everything I own in a big briefcase. The way most people live in the USA and what they accept seems insane to me.
