I'm in Canada, so not familiar with US Medicare and Medicaid. How does kicking everyone off of them benefit billionaires? Aren't they funded by tax payers?

Billionaires always benefit when the government spends less money on people and instead gives it to the rich in the form of contracts, loans, tax breaks, etc.

Billionaires have indeed been profiting greatly.

There are 5 “centibillionaires” in the U.S. worth $100 billion or more.
To put their wealth in perspective:
If you’re a billionaire, you can afford a private jet.
If you’re a centibillionaire, you can afford a brand new Gulfstream jet…every single day…for more than 10 years.

In Dead Rising 2's DLC we find out that the Zombrex corp has a cure, but it is less profitable to cure zombies than to sell 24 suppressant.
And the occasional zombie outbreak is necessary to keep an infected by suppressed population of customers.

Disaster Capitalism👉🏽 “our government granted patents for vaccines to major pharmaceutical companies. Corporations have turned out to be poor stewards of these medical technologies. They aren’t updating the shots as promised, and now jack up the price to unaffordable levels.”

Question — lots of things seemed to start in the 70s. End of antitrust. Beginning of real wage decline. News becoming for-profit.
What were the factors that led to all of this in the US?
