The base satire that none of this would have happened under socialized medicine. Enjoyed the show despite hating all of the characters in it. It's hard for me to watch but I know quality when I see it, the personalities portrayed are just so fucking aggravating. Some episodes of Star Trek i don't mind, I find the socialist utopia underpinnings childish and vapid, hand wavery, but that's just the backdrop, theyve some good actors depending on series, occasionally good scripts. Discovery can suck my ass though.

There is no “base satire” in Breaking Bad about socialised healthcare. You didn’t understand the show at all - he was given an opportunity to work his way out but chose to be a meth dealer because Walt couldn’t stomach further hits to his ego. Sure, there are valid comments it makes about the nature of being up against a heartless system but it doesn’t blame Walt’s decision on that system.
