American health insurance is one of the greatest scams ever invented and should be studied by historians as an elaborate scheme of endless greed: a primer for non-Americans

People romanticize this country and it has a lot to offer if you have a passion for something that makes a lot of money under capitalism like the tech industry or working in healthcare or as a lawyer or corporate business or finance. But if you aren't ambitious, this country eats you alive. If you want a quiet life as a teacher, or care giver, or in childcare; or you like cooking and serving food, or cleaning, or really most kinds of blue collar work. If you like any of that, and you just want to put in forty hours a week and enjoy a good life with family, you're utterly screwed. Utterly screwed. It's no difficult thing to figure out the differences between the two jobs I just described: one serves the other. America has contorted itself into the greatest machine for indentured servitude to ever exist.
