So does the US, they just use one's wealth as a proxy to arrive at demonstrably worse results for everyone overall.
If you want to have a system where one's income determines their ability to survive because you have enough money and that works for you right now, go ahead. But at least drop the pretense that it's in any way just or moral.
- ThomPete 10y agoThats a different discussion though. You can be of the opinion that everyone should get access to the same treatment or you can be of the opinion that they shouldn't and that people who can afford better treatment should be able to. All I was doing was point out that a single payer system has it's own issues as well. Whether you are a fan of one or the other is more a political discussion.
