From where I sit – in a country that provides medical care for everyone, because that’s how you run a decent society, what is wrong with you? – this all seems pretty obvious. But I know that it’s a daily struggle for a great many people in the US, and that’s in large part down to narratives about earning and deserving, and how something run as a business will naturally and inevitably and magically work better than something run by the government.

If you don’t know Kameron Hurley, you probably should. She writes some massively complex science fiction and fantasy so she’s often thinking about the future and what society would look like. She also has a chronic condition that almost killed her so she has some thoughts about medical care and the way it all works.
They are thoughtful thoughts and you should read them.
