Not primarily, no. The costs are definitely worse for government intervention, but ultimately capitalism will drive prices to unsustainable levels only to crash back down. That's the problem with capital. Investors demand constant growth. That's not an option realistically, you can always make profit with a good business, but you can't always make more profit that last quarter. At some point you've actually successfully maximized profits. But that's not enough. You have to find ways to make more profit or your business will lose shareholders--which will kill your business. That's why inflation is so much of a problem. If we don't start taking more steps to transition away from capitalism, we will face a total economic collapse in the future. Providing we don't make the planet uninhabitable before then.

Yeah, maybe. But caplist driven work isn't any better. It's still decided by committees/boards and the number one motive is always profit. The only reason they take things like the well being of doctors and patients into account is because lawsuits are expensive.
Doctors lifestyle are hell now. They have a very high suicide rate because dealing with paperwork and health insurance is exhausting and the stress involved with being responsible for the lifes of others is hard on a person. Especially the kind of person who cares about other peoples wellbeing enough to turn it into a career.
And again--being a doctor IS voluntary. You know what isn't voluntary though? The draft. We haven't used it in a while due to plentiful volunteers, but young men are still required to sign up for it and it could theoretically still be used if needed.

And it seems believable. College leads to success is a good sounding lie. And many jobs do actually require some college. But many don't. And a majority of people don't find a job in their major anyway. My immediate boss has a culinary arts degree. She makes less than local WalMart employees. Meanwhile my roommate has only her GED, and makes a salary that brings home about double what I bring home. A college degree may help you do what you want to do--but unless you are certain in what you it's a bad investment.
But at 18 not only is it easy to believe you need college. It's also easy to go to college. People are offering you loans left and right, and your parents will let you live with them so long as you are in school. Plus you will be such a disappointment if you don't go to college.
So you go to college--for an exorbitant amount of money--long before you really understand how much money you will really have to spend by the time you have to start paying it back.

... because who would pay for health insurance if going to the doctor was affordable. Some people would, sure, but I'm certain plenty of young Americans would be like "eh, it's a bill I don't have to pay really. I'll just keep enough money in savings to go to the doctor if I need to. And then they wouldn't and they would go ask their parents for a loan when they got sick just like people do for car problems now. Because you will be able to pay for this, on payday. But everyone agrees you need insurance because "what if something where to happen" seems like a rational arguement when you literally can't afford for something bad to happen without insurance.
Student loan debt is a little different--but it's the same sort of problem. Teenagers are told "you have to go to college or you will never be successful". Which is a lie by the way. As long as you graduate high school or get a GED, youbcan be successful with the right work ethic and personality. But its the myth we are told.

And it's not "I want this now and I am willing to pay interest to have it now instead of later" debt. Its "I need this--I will agree to whatever terms because without this, I won't be able to return to work and I will end up on the street" debt. The difference being in the first case, people won't (usually) agree to super high interest rates. People have the ability to act as responsible consumers. But when you need something, all bets are off. Even when the price is more than you can afford. Even when you know it.
And that means doctors can charge basically any amount of money--and people will agree to pay it--for services people need.
This does not always mean people will pay it. And health insurance companies tend to have agreements with hospitals and clinics that they will pay X amount per X service. Which then tends to be what everyone is charged. Which of course means health insurance companies benefit from keeping those prices just barely out of affordable range....

Yes--but the real problem isn't that debts accumulate interest faster than you can pay it off forcing you to make constant payments without seeing any benefit. Not that that isn't a problem, but it's really more of a symptom.
The real problem is that healthcare and college are so expensive, that a typical middle class person cannot need very much of either and expect to be able to pay for it themselves.
Health insurance will pay for healthcare--and you can't afford to be unwell without health insurance (typically). Therefore, you have to buy health insurance. If you can't afford health insurance--or your insurance won't cover what you need--you end up with debt.

@famousone You realize that literally no one is suggesting medical professionals be enslaved. What is wanted is free universal healthcare paid for by taxes. There would be no reason to force doctors to work, they would still be paid. They would still be allowed to quit their jobs--with the same expectation of notice we have now.
Do you believe teachers are slaves? Or police force? What about military personnel?
Also, most people want universal healthcare to come in the form of government insurance--which would not cause the hospitals or their staff to change ownership. They would only belong to the government as much as they currently belong to their insurance companies.

Okay--so here's my theory. She married a friend because she felt she had to get married. He knows she is a lesbian, they have been friends for some time. She loves him, just, platonically. She is a virgin--just the case. Her children are adopted. She is on tinder looking for a girl to hookup with. Obviously her attempts so far have been fruitless.

Also cheaper

I completely understand.
My advise, find someone (ideally not one of your players) who will get excited about it with you but will also keep everything quiet until your reveal. Tell only that person.

Its supposed to be grapefruit flavoured soda. It is available in the midwest, and presumably all over the United States. It seems to be less available than certain other sodas, but not by any means rare.

Typically you won't get sick from contact with urine.

Fair.
