This is a piece from a paper i am writing on healthcare.
Our healthcare system is not a market system. It is more of a corporatist system. This system, simply put, is when government and corporations corporate together usually for the profit of the corporation, and for the profits of the politicians who were (usually) bribed into creating such a system. The ideology of socialism is that you take from the rich and give to the poor by use of the government. Corporatism on the other hand is that in reverse. The government uses their power to sway the power of the market (invisible hand) in favor of the powerful corporations. This is the economic system used in fascism. Both Capitalist and Socialist should be against this system.
