These are completely human systems that can be changed any time for any reasons. The current system is achieving exactly what it was designed for: wealth extraction.

There’s no reason why this system has to exist. We can make it better any time we want.

There’s a huge reason it continues to exist: exorbitant lobbying from the people profiting from the death panels. Almost everyone supports Medicare, but too many have been convinced that Medicare for all is some kind of nefarious communist plot.

First they sell you the problem, then they sell you the solution.

There is no emphasis on long term planning or prevention.

Everyone is grabbing with both hands.
