It’s a personal story and he goes through a bit slow but he does get to the point. Basically capitalism has ruined medicine and the actual ways to solve most medical issues cannot be recommended because they don’t make a lot of money.

Healthcare should not be distributed using capitalism. As a means of distribution, it works terribly for healthcare. You don’t show up to the ED and start making offers for the next bed available. A nurse or doctor gets your history and vitals and they triage you based on need for care compared to the rest of the patients. Same thing for diagnostics and treatments. You don’t give the guy who can pay the operating room, you give it to the patient who needs it most in that moment. This is basic stuff in medicine and we should have a tax system in place that pays for all of it.
Why stop at only healthcare being exempt from capitalism? You may as well go further into housing, food and water and employment to address the root of many problems, mental and physical.
Seems like there’s a need for systemic change.
No argument there.
