Because the capitalists control the government.
I personally believe that all health care should be non-profit.
Profit seeking corporations just leech off of the health care system. They add expense and barriers.

Fortunately, solar, wind (and battery storage) are cheaper than fossil and nuclear power. This keeps the greedy capitalists happy to invest in green energy.
Even the massive subsidies for fossil fuels can't overcome solar and wind cost advantage.
The US medical system is designed to ensure profit insurance companies, hospital corporations, pharma.
Any benefit to health is merely a secondary side effect.
Social Security is only in financial trouble because the politicians are bribed and don't raise taxes on rich people who get a real bargain with their SS tax capped at a ridiculously low income level. They get a real bonus far beyond their contributions.
Everyone else gets a fair return on their contributions to the fund.
Most people don't want to live under US fascism.
People and leaving the US (especially the educated).
I am amazed at the laggard US banks.
20 years ago I lived in Switzerland. Banks had no checks. All payments were electronic. I could pay and receive money from anyone without hassle or fees.
The US is backwater slowly slipping into irrelevance.
I've found Venmo cheaper to use since it doesn't have transaction fees for many transfers.
PayPal extracts fees from most transactions.
Who is the idiot?
A recent survey of technology leaders found that China is leading in 61 of 65 tech areas. (A similar survey decades ago found the US leading in most of the tech areas.)
China is focused on leading the world economically and the efforts over the past decades have shown steady progress.
This recent action just doubles down on their commitment. They are not afraid of "aliens".
Unfortunately, the US is going in the opposite direction. Instead of leading economically, the US is focusing on military power, fear, and intimidation to "lead".
The US has hundreds of military outposts around the world. China has none but is becoming a leading economic power.
TFS says satellite services were cut off.
Don't know how they did that.
TFA says: Mobile internet and satellite TV has also been severely disrupted across the country.
Nothing about Starlink... are they even allowed to operate there?
Nobody wants to go to Texas
(BTW, why do people here think the shuttle is in NY? TFA correctly states that it is in the Smithsonian outside Washington, DC.)
How about "Ladybird Killer Edition"
The Technofascists are desperate to increase profits and will try anything.
Wind and solar with batteries (SWB) has been the absolute least expensive source of energy for several years.
People keep trying to revive nuclear but it has always been the most expensive (as well as longest lead time) source of energy.
TFA said the "cost 30,000 cars and billions in lost revenue"
