Hearing Cancer cost payments as someone who lost someone close due to cancer makes me furious. Like I literally cannot handle hearing the prices because it’s such OBVIOUS FUCKING PROOF that the bourgeoisie cares more about Cash than Human Life! Normally that would sound like a hamfisted portrayal of a bad guy in a shitty book, but it’s real, it’s all around us, people who could give less than one tenth of a fuck if we live or die, as long as the checks come in, the life-saving medicine does. Even if it ISN’T life-saving and they pass away soon after, they still charge amounts that -as Parenti says- would make the Pharaohs blush

By privatizing healthcare, the bourgeoisie demonstrate that for them a person's value lies solely in the labor that can be extracted from them. Once one can no longer work, they just get kicked to the curb to die.
