Failure of American Capitalism & Social Economic System

If capitalism and the social economic system in America is so great why can't I find a job at age 56 (age discrimina­tion) and why do I have to have a job to get affordable good health insurance? Being unemployed I have to choose to either pay for housing and food or super expensive health insurance in America (decent health insurance rates for people over 50 are costing $1000's a month now). So if I have a major illness I will have to go bankrupt and loose all my savings. This is the great American Capitalist System, when we would rather spend trillions on teaching our young people to be soldiers instead of doctors, nurses, teachers and entreprene­urs? Because we place more emphasis on defense and building war machines, what are we defending, the right for Halliburton to win the war in Iraq? And charging people so much money to go to medical school or college while pharmaceut­ical companies price gouge, lawyers make millions in malpractic­e suits, and corrupt politician­s make millions from special interests and special deals after they leave office, this is the wonderful reality of capitalism and our wonderful democratic system? How's that working out for you?
