Just reading the abstract makes me think of the phrase: Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Seems like causality might be reversed here. People become more politically conservative the more jaded they become with the healthcare system.

Many people in the US become more liberal as they become more jaded by the (for-profit) healthcare system.

Through what mechanism does dissatisfaction with our for-profit healthcare system lead to support for eg. expansionist foreign wars or aggressive policing policies?

Would need to affect reproduction for Darwinian effects to matter.

Encourage deathly extreme sports for kids/teens/20s/30s? Need more hysteric ball betting.

Build up the belief of rewards in afterlife - vergings towards other religions?

Win by playing a long game.

I suspect this is probably more complicated. My family members who live in small towns and rural areas have been having larger health issues and more trouble getting care even if they want to for years if not decades compared to my relatives who live in major urban areas, and particularly those who live in more affluent areas. Like I'd go so far as to estimate that affluent areas metro adjacent are +7 years vs. non-affluent metro areas, which are also like +7 years vs. rural/small town areas or slum/poor metro areas. But I also think the kind of care and non-care my relatives in smaller/rural areas leads to exhaustion, loss of faith in the system, and interest in alternative options.

But I also don't doubt that adding the modern conservative delusions and paranoia on top of it all only worsens everything.

It's well documented that healthcare providers in rural US are diminishing, and yet, they continue to vote for right wing candidates.

It is important to point out though, that the last opportunity to establish single-payer healthcare in the US was prevented by the democratic party.

The famous Hillary quote: "Single payer is off the table"

This is why the RNC has hated the Clintons, and especially Hillary, so much: they were muscling in on republican turf.
