    It solves this problem of rich people having too much of a hard time getting ahead of poor people for medical treatment.

    And it solves the issue in a way that the middle class thinks they’re on the winning side, but in fact they’re on the losing side, so it ends up solving a second problem: how to further deepen inequality in a way that the mass populace stays under a delusion of fairness.

    And it solves the issue in yet another relevant way, in that the poorest segment of society gets to die off without care. What we call politics of extermination, where falling off to the edges of economic activity doesn’t merely make you marginalized, it actually erases you of the surface of the earth.

    Triple win for the wealthy, double loss for the working class, and a final loss for the poor - death.
