As of right now, in the United States, Government sets the price of college admission. Most colleges are public, and the government funds the majority of student loans. The entire education system is manipulated by government. Higher education has become an extension of the banking industry.

The healthcare industry is big business. Those big businesses are major political campaign donators. Billionaires + Government = Grift. Regulations are created to maximize profit and stifle competition.

I would like to see health insurance for preexisting conditions and emergencies only. Normal visits could be paid out of pocket. Preventable disease would be the responsibility of patients. I shouldn’t have to fund insulin for a bunch of people slamming fast food every day.

Not true, the federal and state governments do not set tuition.

Capitalist companies will always seek to raise profits. If you remove profits, everyone still gets paid…just not shareholders or those not providing proof of work.

So you would sign on to a healthcare system where you choose your kind of coverage and what “pool” or “group” you are in?

Why the hell would anyone start/own a business if there was no profits in it?

So they can make living and be compensated for their work.

Why would anybody want to work hard just so someone(s) can steal their wages to make themselves rich?

Someone takes all the risk and just gives up all the reward? That doesn’t make sense.

Well, they succeeded and were compensated, especially if they have more work than they can handle by themselves and need to find help.

Then, once they find someone and tell them “Hey, I CANT do all this work myself, will you help?” The risk is now shared by that helper BECAUSE they need compensation to live as well.

Makes perfect sense if you step outside what you WANT to be true. I was once in your exact same mindset.

Just think “Proof of Work”, why was that so important to Satoshi?

By the way, I ran a company where “profits” went back to those I worked with. It can happen friend, I’m not asking…I did it.
