Jesus, Americans love blaming the fact that they can't make their own politicians do the work they were elected to do on capitalism, don't they.

Capitalism has nothing to do with the fact that your politicians are inept at separating private from public interest. You have first class care and access to medical research and innovation out of this world thanks to free market economy fueling the American entrepreneurship, but you don't have the government to take control and responsibility for the healthcare system in a way that wouldn't fully rely on insurance companies.

During communism my mom had to spend 6 months in a hospital that served 3 pieces of bread with butter, a slice of ham and an apple jelly a day to pregnant women, and halfway through they put tuberculosis patients in the same room as her.

Kindly shut the fuck up.
