Someone wants to make a few quid selling hand sanitizers = "burn him at the steak".

Multi Billion Dollar Industry charging astronomical amounts for routine things = "good guy capitalism"

I mean it's kinda obvious why.

The health industry owns politicians.

And yet half the liberals on this board were crucifying the hand sanitizer guy, yet we dont hear a peep from them about the outrageous,inflated, hospital costs.

Because people are stupid. The Joker in TDK was right. As long as everything is going according to plan then people are fine, even if the plan is utterly horrific. Giant company gouging you till youre broke? Thats fine, part of the plan. One guy hoarding hand sanitizers? Thats chaos!

Hand Sanitizer Guy isn't obligated to have to cover the costs of people who were never going to pay anyway, nor deal with third-party payers who only pay a portion of the asking price.

Wut? This is/was one of the main talking points of anyone who supported Bernie or Warren. About half of what Bernie says relates to the healthcare costs in America. Come out from under the rock once in awhile.

Even the most spineless of liberals pay lip service to how bad price gouging is from the health industry.

People doubt the left because their solution is medicare for all, ultimately trusting government, the entity that can't get it's spending on the military and retirement entitlements under control, will now suddenly bring medical costs down and not just raise taxes to keep paying for $30 cotton swabs.

If he just stuck to screwing over poor people he'd still be free.

Medicare and Medicaid already get the best deal on the care they provide.
