I don't believe that over- regulation or even under-regulation played ANY PART. Doctors got their profession taken over by large corporations of PRIVATE INSURERS like Medicare Advantage. Some Doctors did stay independent, but many joined conglomerates. Many people in their 60s that are NOT Medicare eligible have used ACA successfully.

And many got screwed by the ACA, watching their premiums and deductibles triple and quadruple (especially if you were self employed...)

It’s heartbreaking to walk into a VA facility and notice those familiar healthcare professionals are no longer employed. Appointments changed cancelled. Some consider veterans unworthy of medical care.
Our daughter basically lost her entire team, yet even with her own medical problems, she still believes everyone deserves respect, and treatment either physically or emotionally.
She truly believes the strong will over power those who try to destroy wellbeing of others. I don’t think she will win but it’s good to have goals.

China, long regarded as the factory of the world, is now pioneering a bold new frontier: dark factories—fully autonomous manufacturing plants that operate without human workers, without lights, and without interruption. No parking lots, no food service facilities, no human resources, etc. These futuristic facilities are not science fiction; they are already in operation.

If you are of the thought new manufacturing plants will bring back the days of high paying manual labor jobs you better have a plan b.
