What else would you call it? She literally says that they put her in this terrible situation with no help so that they could squeeze a few extra dollars in profit. So, yeah… that’s her point.

“You are only using and exploiting us to line your pocket with the common citizen's money for overcharged healthcare. You don't care about anyone because you have a narcissistic personality.”

You do realize that capitalism isn't the only economic system that works people to the bone right? She's calling out the people who run the hospital. How you came to the conclusion that her suicide was an anti-capitalist cry is beyond me.

Did you not read the quote? She didn’t work under another system. She worked for a private healthcare provider and explicitly called out their profit motive. Don’t be ignorant.

Every corporate run health care institution is like this. Every corporate institution in America is like this. Time to get your head out of your ass.
