Words fail me in conveying the full measure of my exhaustion with this cruel and convoluted racket we designate ‘healthcare’, here in this, the so-called ‘land of the free and home of the brave’. Healthcare is merely one symptom of a much broader institutional decay. Another manifestation — and one among many — of an empire that hath grown too overpopulated, too sprawling, too byzantine in its complexity, and which must, in consequence, inevitably fall. Collapse is well under way, if we have not figured it out by now (most are in one stage or another of denial though nearly all sense something hath gone grievously awry).
American healthcare hath stood as a purely tyrannous engine for at least the past forty-to-fifty years (give or take), and finds itself now crumbling piecemeal beneath its own accumulated burden. Whether one recognises it or not, collapse doth increasingly show itself in every quarter of our lives: the rank incompetence, the pervasive avarice, the worsening sickness and addiction, and the coarsening of public discourse and civic life have together exacted so heavy a toll that there can be no other outcome but the dissolution of this empire. Considerable bloodshed and tragedy shall yet ensue — and a slew of logistical perplexities will have to be sorted out — before #Muricans finally throw in the towel en masse upon this so-called ‘Great American Experiment’, and resolve to go each their own way. It was a good run before it all descended into perdition.
