(stopping emergency services is kind of a big deal though)
capitalists care about human health, suddenly (listen to Death Panel podcast)
I just skimmed some info about that podcast, looks like it’s advocating for a socialist/communist health care in a capitalist system - which we essentially have in Canada.
Having the government in control of your healthcare definitely has some huge down sides, it’s absolutely not all roses. No idea if I’m interpreting what that podcast is about correctly though
I promise you any flaws you perceive in the Canadian healthcare system are there because of the “under capitalism” part not because its socialized. (Also because its a piecemeal plan that doesnt cover dental and shit).
And living in a country with a private healthcare system, its 1000% worse than you can even imagine.
For pricing being out of control, absolutely it’s worse in the US, I don’t doubt that for a second.
I’ve yet to see a government controlled program that operates efficiently though. Everything is very slow going if you’re in a city here (healthcare wise). Not bad in rural areas though (if you can find a hospital close to you lol)
Part of the slowness (in any regulated sector) is also inherent in running democracy’s - changing policies and redirecting funding every time a new party is elected, all while creating more bureaucracy.
Not that I want a fascist government at all lol, but just wanted to add that there’s probably more issues to it than just being capitalistic. I’m not trying to disagree about your capitalism point though - there’s for sure issues in that too
