MF nowhere else as shit healthcare like the US, don't drag everwhere else into this.
Oh the Tories want US style healthcare so bad, the way they're cutting into NHS.
I can't speak for Australia, but from the corruption bullshit I hear coming from their whatever socialized medicine they have right now is at risk of dissolving.
Hopefully, the EU knows better than to go the same route.
I've been on the NHS, and the EU would do well to emulate THE INTENDED FORM of the NHS.
You can't shit on the NHS because it's become infiltrated with corrupt arseholes or been underfunded recently.
In Godel, Escher and Bach one of the ideas is that you cannot have a system that is completly useful and 100% airtight. Any useful enough system can be corrupted to destroy itself. The NHS needs to be better funded and cut out the stupid amount of middlemen it has adopted, 100%, but the blueprint should be emulated by many other places.
I'm not from the US. I'm happy with my country's healthcare. I'm not trying to drag anywhere else into it.
Not for lack of trying, the corruption of the US spreads wherever it can. When a large tree is dying, it rots from the centre of the trunk first. The rot at the core of capitalism started where the most power resides, and that's why the US is such a horror show. You aren't immune from it, it just hasn't rotted as badly where you are.
That’s just because your health care is excluded from capitalism. The evils of capitalism still apply to everything else.
