I think you'll find that a running your healthcare expenses and approvals thru labyrinth of private, corporate bureaucracies, each siphoning off a portion of of the available money and incentivized to increase that amount however possible while offloading all expenses possible onto you, is in fact the ultimate expression of freedom. Please report to your local consumer reeducation camp for programming.
Yep - exactly this. Now imagine they're keeping you alive on with this system extracting as much money as they possibly can even though you're a terminal patient that is in pain 100% of their remaining days.
Well there's only two other countries with more than 330 million people so that's a bit of a poor argument to make, and it assumes that the well-functioning systems in (most, if not all) other western countries won't scale - I'm not entirely sure where such an assumption comes from.
Probably a refusal to imagine it as a possibility in the first place, I suppose.
Well "flawless" is obviously a disingenuous expectation on your part.
I would direct you to the United States which has a pretty amazing public healthcare system called Medicare that has an 80+% approval rating among those lucky enough to be on it.
