Also I bet if spracs read ‘The Jungle’ he would roll his eyes and say “this is what the market does when people really want to eat cheap sausage. They aren’t breaking any rules.”
What a world class bootlicker.
I have read The Jungle, and I will say that the arc of history is long, but it always bends towards the truth (I vaguely remember someone saying something similar). The whole point of laws and regulations, and really the strength of the American legal system, is that they allow people and businesses to plan their affairs in a productive manner without fear of unknowingly ending up in legal jeopardy. The concept of notice and the ability to rely on laws and regulations are central to the Constitutional promise of due process of law.
I will never fault a business for operating within the boundaries established by Congress, executive agencies, and the federal and state judiciaries. What more can you reasonably demand? Sometimes it takes time for the law to catch up with prevailing public sentiment, but that can be a good thing, too. Bottom line is that your anger should be directed at our lawmakers and not the companies who attempt to maximize profits while abiding by the rules.
And for what it's worth, I agree that fundamental change in our healthcare delivery systems is needed. But for various reasons, some legit and some not, many or most Americans are afraid of what that would mean.
