I'm usually pretty libertarian and I think private healthcare can work. But right now it really, really can't. Massive issues are down the road, and not very far down the road (14 days).
- amalter 7y agoAnd if private healthcare can’t work during a crisis, then what use is it? A large public system cannot be conjured out of thin air to met each crisis. We will see the large well funded social medical systems, with their “inefficient” over capacity, over-perform the operating on thin margins private systems. I’m terrified here in the US. (FWIW - give me 90% socialized medicine with room on the margins for private clinics, like the vast majority of the 1st world)
