Yeah I agree. But insurance companies are a direct result of medical providers gouging the public. It's amazing that the healthcare industry, which provides such an essential, and what economists call, an "inelastic good" because it isn't tied to market-based supply and demand the way, say, TV's are, is allowed to mark up their prices higher than any other industry. In the richest country in the world, no less, healthcare is becoming inaccessible.In addition to doctors and hospitals, don't forget how corrupt private insurance companies are. They're the middle men and pretty much get to pick and choose what they decide to cover. If Biden croaks before 2024, vote for Bernie. He is the only one pushing Medicare for all. The US has to get to the 21st century. Canada, Europe, Australia.... they have this shit figured out.
Bernie would get my vote all the way but the electoral system is rigged, in case you haven't noticed.
