In more advanced stuff I am ok with Capitalism, however healthcare for me is the most basic human need and everyone has a right to get their problem solved ragardless of their social status. For example my buissnes partners make a few wrong decisions, we all lose our income/company, in that moment I brake a leg by accident and my life goes to hell. On the technological level of 21th century this is just stupid.
The problem with healthcare is that people who have problem(s) in this regard are in need that can't be postponed in many cases. What makes them ideal to be victims of blackmail that will come in the form of preverse medical bills. Or there are cases that because of administrative reasons persons insurance get cancel, or they say to a guy that he is ok even if he is not so that they don't have to treat him (what costs money)
Capitalism and healthcare make too many "what if" situations in one very important area of safety and therefore I don't consider this to be ideal solution. In my part of the world you can't find people who sold their house so that someone could go to therapy of some kind.
However once you turn the whole thing to market you are risking that money becomes more important than people and I find that problematic, since the main goal of healthcare is not money and it shouldn't be. What is extra problematic since everbody want to work for more so step by step doctors can rise prices where they drain people. (people who have no choice) While this way political figures exchange healthcare service for votes and have to make sure that it stays this way or othervise they will quickly lose quite a bit of votes, what keeps system in balanace. Actually in my country healthcare system is getting more and more capitalistic but it is also becoming more and more shity with that change. (for a number of reasons)
Therefore in this sphere of life I am perfectly ok with bypassing capitalism, especially since this factor calms the whole society since everbody knows that they are not going to die young because of some random complication in wrong time and that they will get the chance to fight their disease. Broken leg is one turn problem but there are plenty of deseases that need to be threated for years before improvement shows itself and this is where socialized healthcare shows it's strength.
My 2 cents on healthcare. (to be honest I was thinking about opening the thread about this topic)
Yes, but these are a lot of "what if" situations and it is simply not realistic to expect them all to occur at the same time in anything but the most unfortunate and nearly statistically impossible situations imaginable. If a person manages to:
-Suddenly lose their job either due to illness or an illness coincidentally strikes at the same time
-Is unable to find a new job of the same level of income or type due to the nature of their illness
-Is unable to find a new job of a lower level of income with less hours due to the severity of their illness
-Is unable to receive any sort of existing welfare or unemployment from the government due to the their country being "full capitalist" in a sense
-Happens to have no money saved
-Happens to have no property or anything of any other value to be traded, loaned or sold
-Happens to have never had the opportunity to purchase health insurance
-Happens to have an administration error occur on their insurance forcing them to lose their coverage in this situation
-Happens to have no access to alternate medical venues that could offer services at a more reasonable price or expect payment at a future date once the person was back on their feet
-Happens to be denied taking out a loan out to pay for whatever medical procedure is needed
-Happens to have absolutely no family, friends, or acquaintances to fall back on financially or for support in other matters or who are willing to take out a loan for them in this situation that would clearly save their life
-Is unable to find any charities willing to give them a hand after explaining to them the sheer despair and desperation of their situation despite living in a society in which there is an awareness this situation is possible, enhancing the likelihood and popularity of medical charities
-Despite suffering all this the individual still desires medical treatment over blowing their brains out
If all of the above managed to happen at the exact same time to the exact same person, then I'd hazard a guess you'd be living in the Twilight Zone. The sheer infeasibility of these circumstances coming to fruition seeming like a likelihood that could only be staved off via the safety net only socialism could provide is a side-effect of an apparent lifelong subconscious psychological dependence on the government and never having to think of an alternative arrangement.
