Why are people so affraid of anarchy?

[Anomalocaris]

You realize that there's a lot of grey between predatory capitalism and pure altruism to motivate people, yes?

Yep. I think that we are grey now, don't you? Maybe we'd just like a different shade. I think the currents profit margins in medicine development, application and delivery are out of balance/control. Even in so called "non profits". 

I often wonder if the US patient population position/demand of "medical care at any cost" has not contributed to the problem.

I think when the economy grows for a sustained period of decades, but majority of population sees little to no growth in income, the majority of the population loses its stake in capitalism, whose modt fundamental justification is really that it can supposedly enrich more people faster than competing systems.  

This is why the GOP tries to utter the word "socialism" as curse.  Their string pullers have come to realize that while capitalism certainly made the economy larger overall and has been unmatched in delivering the resulting added wealth to the top 1%, it has dramatically underperformed many more Socialistic societies in enriching 90% of the society.   Therefore it is necessary to preemptively blacken the name of socialism before the majority catches on that there is something in it for them in a more socialistic approach that capitalism as hitherto practiced in this country can't match.
