  20.  @antimediaman9354  Oversimplifier: Research Bain Capital. Better, research the current disaster that is Steward Health Care -- to which your sort of blind economic illiteracy applies. A few facts about it: 1. A woman bled to death after giving birth because the treating facility didn't have the device that could have saved her life. They didn't have the device because it had been repossessed by the vendor. It was repossessed because Steward was stiffing its the vendors. 2. Because Steward neglected maintenance at another of their hospitals water pooled on its roof. During a heavy rainstorm the roof caved in. The damage was so extensive that the hospital needs to be rebuilt. The skeleton of the new hospital exists, but the construction has stopped because the construction companies are not being paid. 3. Steward has brought its part in the health care system to the verge of collapse and public health emergency. It is claiming "financial difficulties," and seeking a TAXPAYER bailout. It is Extortion/Blackmail 101: "We see that you have citizens needing health care. It would be a shame if something happened to them." The state is demanding they prove their claims of "financial difficulties," but Steward is in court, paying top-dollar law firms, fighting the state law that REQUIRES that financial disclosure. 4. Steward has 16,000 employees and 200,000 patients. If their hospitals close, 16,000 jobs will be lost, and other hospitals will be overwhelmed. It is claiming "financial difficulties," and seeking a TAXPAYER bailout. In the alternative it is offering to sell some of its hospitals -- for PROFIT; but they are so burdened with debt that no one will buy them. It is Extortion/Blackmail 101: "We see that you have citizens needing health care. It would be a shame if something happened to them." 5. Meanwhile, in keeping with your ignorance: Steward's CEO owns two yachts -- one costing $40,000,000, and the other specially built for fishing" at $15,000,000.00. And two top-level planes. THAT is where the money intended to pay for health care and maintenance -- in at minimum the hundreds of millions of dollars, including taxpayer Medicare and Medicaid, has gone: into the pockets of sociopathic greed. Again, research "private-equity" -- in these instances -- and it isn't only Steward doing it; research Romney's "Bain Capital" -- which means; Buying thriving businesses, taking all the money out of them, and destroying the businesses and jobs. Destroying lives and communities. But you won't defend communities and society because that risks being "socialism" -- while you blithely defend sociopathic greed. We're talking about non-taxed non-profit hospitals which are doing well, doing marginally, or struggling, made into for-profit, therefore taxation being added to their budgets. And then the selling of the lands and buildings to a landlord who then charges rents -- that also being added to their budgets. The CEO and other investors -- the "innovative" "entrepreneurs" -- making billions by means of wealth extraction, and the hospitals being destroyed, which damages and kills patients, and ruins entire communities. Unless, that is, the TAXPAYER buys them out -- all of which process is entirely and only about PROFITS -- the SOCIALISM is the destruction imposed on not only the communities but also on the overall economy. And I'll bet you also oppose the taxation that gets sucked out by these private for-profit private-equity profiteers. THAT is what you are ignoring and defending with your right-wing ideological defense of capitalism as LAWLESSNESS. YOU TOO are paying the price for that corruption. You are DEFENDING having your own pockets picked.
