Healthcare using regulations to block competition and line their pockets is a big source to that inequality, being forced to pay into that isn't envy.

But I get your point, inequality isn't a problem in itself, but seeing your money go to rich people for no good reason does feel very bad even if the problem is the corruption and not the inequality.

Healthcare problems are nearly all caused by heavy government involvement in every facet of it.

> seeing your money go to rich people for no good reason

Anyone can buy stocks and get their share. For example, NVDA. If you'd bought some, you'd have made quite a lot of bank, and made your friends unhappy with you because of the money you unfairly made for no good reason.

I know many ordinary schlubs who became multimillionaires by simply buying NVDA, MSFT, AMZN, AAPL, etc.
