I didn’t say they were rich. I still can’t afford to go to the doctor though, so the distinction isn’t significant to my experience of not having medical care.
You did say doctors were rich. Otherwise, who is “this is just another handout to the wealthy” referring to? And like the other commenter mentioned, doctors aren’t usually the ones setting their own costs.
At this point, doctors being rich is an out of date stereotype from before today's rich guys screwed us, and the doctors, out of the good economy we would've had. This is the fundamental misunderstanding holding the idea back from mainstream audiences, they seem to believe "eat the rich" means literally to destroy anybody who makes as much as a doctor or lawyer makes, forgetting these are simply further examples of often abused workers, same as the person cobbling shoes, welding, cooking, whatever.
Yeah not enough people are mad at the universities for inflating prices to soak up those sweet sweet government funds which goes hand in hand with the student debt crisis. And now the universities need those funds and there’s no way to rewind without destroying important institutions.
