Cherry-picked examples are not invalidating my analogy. :P
American healthcare is broken for reasons other than free market/capitalism. And I actually come from Poland, and experience first-hand how socialized medicine sucks,a and see how left-leaning Americans love to glorify and ignore problems with public health care, which actually sucks in practice, just a bit less than then oligopolic, corporate, overregulated model from USA.
I don't want to argue more about healthcare. My analogy is quite accurate.
Critics of manual-memory management will always bring up totally broken C model: how insecure it is, tedious etc. and compare it with a decent example of heavy, complex automatic model: Java GC, and ignore whole bunch of problems with Java GC that one experience in practice, that are fundamentally unfixable. The best way is actually a modern, lightweight manual-memory model like in Rust.
Just like the best health-care model would be a private, lightweight, competitive market, with just the right (small) amount of government tuning and incentives.
