This is nothing about socialism, it's about taking minimum care of other people.
It's easy for a healthy guy say that the insurance system works great, but on the 1st real health problem you will change your opinion because it's all wounderland when you are puting money on the insurance company pocket but at first expensive treatment you are kicked from the system.
In general, US people believe too much on urban miths instead of thinking by they selfs. |
Leaving grammatical errors aside, this still makes no sense.
Smart Americans don't dislike universal healthcare because of jingoisms like "socialism."
The reason we oppose it is because it creates big government, which is inefficiant, costly, and prone to corruption. Lots of people will take from it, but only some will contribute to it. It's the tragedy of the commons. The cure is worse than the disease.
Let private charity provide more to the poor and indigent.
That said, the US healthcare system is broken. There are probably legislative fixes that can help it.
The free market system works very well most of the time. When it doesn't, you use legislation to tweak it. You don't throw out the baby (capitalism) with the bathwater (broker healthcare/ corporate abuses).
