The sick person is the raw material.

Medical debt is the leading cause of personal bankruptcy in the United States.
Not gambling. Not reckless spending. Not the moral failures that the rhetoric of personal responsibility loves to invoke.
Getting sick.
The leading cause of financial ruin in the wealthiest country in human history is the biological inevitability of the human body breaking down.
This happens nowhere else in the developed world.
In no other wealthy nation does a person survive cancer and then spend a decade paying for the survival.
In no other wealthy nation does a grandmother choose between insulin and rent.
In no other wealthy nation is the question "can I afford to call an ambulance" a question a person has to genuinely ask.
This is not an accident of policy.
This is the policy.
The extraction is the point.
The debt is the product.
The sick person is the raw material.
