Politics & Perspective
Our Antipathy towards the U.S. Healthcare System Doesn’t Have to Be Terminal
It doesn’t have to be the way it is
We all (should) participate in capitalism.
If in the free market (and we being a part of it) and if we want to buy what is being peddled bears it, whatever the product or service be can live on in breadth and bounty.
In a free capitalistic society, within laws, but free so to speak insofar as having the freedom, you can try to sell whatever you think you can market successfully — be it a good idea, a bad idea, a real idea, or a sham.
It’s up to the consumer to be savvy enough to say, ‘I want this’ or ‘This isn’t good enough’. A product or service (even ideology) lives or dies based on consumer habits and intelligence.
So no different than when it comes to how we’d approach politics and certain aspects of our lives — say, something more important, like our health — where we would certainly not want to be so easily taken advantage of by smarter, slicker, snake oil sellers, and instead, truly see what in fact is being sold and reject it for something way better.
