Say it with me again. America health care, including hospitals, operate like a criminal enterprise. https://t.co/FeQUuSq540

They donโt operate like a criminal enterprise โ they are a criminal enterprise. Just because they provide some benefit doesnโt mean they arenโt also mobsters and racketeers. Loan sharks and the mafia provide sometimes very-valuable services to the communities in which they are embedded, for instance, but no one would term them humanitarians.
The medical community meets many of the de jure requirements of the RICO act: fraud, embezzlement, racketeering and extortion among them.
I am not exaggerating for effect. I do believe that the American (in particular) medical community is a criminal enterprise. Only effective cultural influence (propaganda) muddies that obvious conclusion.
