    The system is working. It’s designed to enrich the wealthy and extract that wealth from the poor.

    The entire medical industrial complex is not going to give up their wealth willingly.

    Plus most doctors are born into money already. They don’t ever associate with ordinary people in the lower 80% of households.

      I work for rich people once in a while and they don’t understand why I can’t wait 1 month to get paid. There is a total disconnect, they can’t even imagine how I live, and I’m not the poorest of the poor anymore.

      I work construction, and I have to be super mindful of injury, because that’d basically be it for me.

        “I don’t get it MiddleWeigh, don’t you have some art you could auction? Surely your money manager has some stock you can loan off in the mean time?”

      A lot of folks who otherwise would have become doctors have pursued other careers because the money just isn’t there anymore.
