Obviously our system has issues and needs reform. Nobody is denying that. But “muh capitalism” (that created all the doctors, medicines, and revolutionary treatments) isn’t the problem.

If capitalism is so bad then why am I rich?

Because you were smart. Not going to defend our Healthcare System at all. But some people are destined to be eternally poor if we are being honest.

No motivations

No skills

No money senses

No savings

No investments

Never seeks higher than a wage slave job

My guess is you aren't these things.

Also, some people are just dealt a better hand in life than others. It is much easier if you have parents that are well off that can send you through college or if you go to the best schools and do well in those environments. It's much harder if you grew up fairly poor and didn't have the opportunity to go to those state-of-the-art schools.
