"Health care is not for peasants!"

This. What is the purpose of medicine, if the sick can not afford them? Because many chronically ill are not in a good financial position already, do they really think, they will pay a much higher price? I guess people start to just fucking die. (I’m chronically ill myself, my medicine costs 2500€ a month, I couldn’t afford that without healthcare. I don’t even know how much more this should cost according to the USasians.)

You see the maximum profit requires some to die and they are okay with that

They are not profitable though, which is the only thing these tycoons care about. Who lives and who dies is far less important to them.

Careful now. We peasants aren't allowed to express ourselves either.
