Start your own insurance company and try to do better instead of complaining.

Make a plan, gather funds - you don't need to kill people to improve society. This is something almost everybody is complaining about - from the left to the right. Why doesn't anybody step up and does it better?

Maybe because these companies are not evil and it is just how the government has regulated stuff?

This is the irony. There are places where progressives, moderates, conservatives and liberals all agree and this is one of them.

Sure, everybody likes cheap stuff - i don't believe the 'companies are evil' narrative. Usually there is a good reason for it and often government is preventing competition.

I don’t think companies are evil by default.

What I find ironic is the left complains about wages then when wages go up, they complain that cost of went up.

I also hate the billionaires comment. Very few people make a billion much less several billions per year. They confuse wealth with income and it’s sad. To have that little economic literacy is concerning. It’s why they think taxing the wealthy would fix everything when it wouldn’t. We spend to much money which is the problem.
