Framing the argument as socialist vs capitalist is not helping us work towards a real solution to America's health problems. France is not a socialist democracy nor is the USA a true capitalist republic. We need to dissociate ourselves from idealology driven plans and name calling. That said I have enjoyed the medical care of The Netherlands and the USA at different times and I much prefer the Dutch system. It's just cheaper and less hassle. They're both public/private organized but for whatever reason the Dutch system is just easier for me to deal with. I don't know which one is socialist or which one is free market or whatever. The Dutch one is just cheaper and I get better service. Maybe the USA can attain lower costs and better service through introducing more competition. Or by training more doctors or public support. I don't care what idealology my elected leaders pick. Just come up with a plan, show me what I have to pay to go to the doctor and I'll decide if I move back to the USA when my time in Holland is up. But that's not going to happen if we as Americans can't move away from infantile and outdated idealogical debates rooted in cold war fear mongering.
