Sounds like just about every other system in modern capitalism.

Really? This funny limbo seems pretty specific to American healthcare, which is a fairly unique and admittedly fascinating study in the intersection of politics and capitalism.

You don't perceive that system to be different from grocery stores, auto manufacturing, Nvidia, or lemonade stands? They're all very different in my mind, I'm surprised you see them as identical.

I assumed the linked article was written by a non American, given the use of kilometers and anecdote of a Brisbane doctor committing suicide.

Although the whole website has 1 post and there’s a prominent advertising link to some doctor book that then links to herbal stuff, so not sure if the whole thing is fake to advertise books.

Huh, you're right! This is by an Australian doctor:

The doctor who wrote the article is Australian, not American.
