What is something that’s been normalized that you consider to be a complete scam?
insurance! and anything involving the medical industry, really.
it's awful to me how big companies and hospitals take advantage of people for so much money. a single ambulance ride shouldn't cost $1000. insulin shouldn't be this expensive when it's cheap to make and people need it to survive. we shouldn't have to lose our houses because we got sick (something entirely out of our control) and couldn't afford the $5000 bill.
how can we even change it, though? we've dug ourselves so far down into this hole and far too many people are brainwashed into thinking it's the greatest thing ever. we need insurance or we're screwed in a society like this. pharmaceutical and insurance companies make the rules and we have no say.
it genuinely reminds me of money laundering, how they steal so much money from people and pass it off as being necessary for the dumbest reasons,,,,,,,,like a single tylenol in a hospital being $200. no, you're just greedy and it's a scam.
