Probably not as much as one might want on a forum for american business types and their nihilistic thirst for efficiency, but my own anecdata suggests a lot of regular folks are quite content with their socialized health system.
- gumby 3y ago> their nihilistic thirst for efficiency In practice this mostly means removing resiliency from the system so that it does in fact cost less in the successful steady state but is fragile in the face of any disruption. This is why it worked so well for management consultants in the 80s and 90s: get the win right away, get paid, then après moi le déluge.
