A buddy of mine just got her doctorate in medical prosthetics and has been job hunting. She wants to work with pediatric amputees but the best job offer she got was for $45k after a year of searching. She’s considering moving to another state to take a position doing prosthetics for diabetics, which isn’t in line with her goals but pays $55k.
I didn’t have to heart to tell her that I made $45k over a decade ago as a first year IT worker with only an Associate’s. I never realized that medical was such a shitshow. Where does our money go when we get thousand dollar medical bills for even the most basic stuff??
They exist within a layer of bullshit, workers are the insoluble fiber that keeps everything moving no matter how sick and broken it is. That was kind of a gross metaphor.
Anyway, general strike is the shortest way forward.
I want the people preparing my prescriptions for pills I put into my body to be paid a living wage.
What I want is reasonable and any dipshit person in a business suit worth more than my car who wants to condescendingly explain why this can’t happen is a bold faced fucking liar.

Every layer of the American medical system is bullshit.

Board of directors and shareholders.
And insurance companies!
Except the humans at the bottom layer doing the actual healthcare and getting ground into pieces by the ruling class exploiting them.
