    That’s a message for the Brits then. As long as the USA are a almost daily reminder as to why completely private healthcare is a really bad idea, mist countries that have public healtcare will probably be very hesitant to even discuss shit like that.

    Yet, ideas being obviously and utterly stupid hasn’t stopped the Brits very often in the past, has it?

      And the Canadians. Our right wing is cutting Healthcare budgets and saying the reason there are long wait times is because it needs to be privatized.

      Sad thing is it’s working.

        thats pretty much how everything is ruined in the US. The shining example that disproved it was the postal service and actually medicare and social security and our conservatives have been trying to poison those systems like crazy.

      A message for Australians too unfortunately. The LNP (our right-wing party) made efforts within their time in power to coax people into using private insurance and punishing those who do not. And unfortunately even with the more centre-left party in power it doesn’t seem like the public system is getting much more love.
