Glaring example being healthcare. Per Capita the US spends way more than any other country, twice as much as the OECD average. Yet not everyone has access to proper healthcare, the and statistics don’t look great for mother mortality and screenings for preventative diseases…
But you know, they’ll be damned if their moneys paid for someone undeserving (poor or person of color seems to be coinciding with who they think do not deserve healthcare), but wasting tons of money on bureaucracy and fat profit margins, that’s apparently a-okay.
America is basically “I got mine, fuck you” and “others don’t deserve a thing because reasons” all the way down.
It’s like a snake eating it’s own tail.
The really baffling thing is that often they didn’t get theirs in the first place.
It’s closer to “I would rather neither of us get it than you get it too”.
