I live in a country with private Healthcare and I could call and book an appointment with any kind of specialist anywhere from a day to 6 months. The reason it takes longer is usually because they're fully booked due to demand. And when I get an appointment, I can sit in that office for an hour asking anything I want. And my medical aid will pay for it. That is capitalism.

> And my medical aid will pay for it. That is capitalism. No, that is socialism inside capitalism. Let me explain. I assume by "medical aid" you mean insurance, right? What is insurance? It is a bunch of people pooling their money so they can reduce risk and pay for each others health care. Capice?

  Difference being I get to pick in one and in the other I have no choice. Also the medical aid or insurance makes a profit, yet more capitalism. Either way, we're talking passed each other because we have different definitions.
