> lived NOT under capitalism

What, for example, is "NOT capitalism?" You mean like communist countries? You seem to be making the old mistake of thinking communism and capitalism are opposites of one another.

What is more, the problems with the communist countries was massive cryptic bureaucratic systems preventing practical problems being solved. If you hadn't noticed (or just ignore OP entirely) we have this exact problem right now with the health care/insurance system under the capitalist US system.

This is what I mean by capitalism and communism aren't opposites. Capitalism is turning our society into something like what was seen under more oppressive communist governments. And simply voting as if "things are better here, now, than it was under communism" won't solve the very real, pressing problems that OP was talking about.
