Public healthcare is a guarantee that all are treated identical, and the treatment will be very mediocre, not state of the art, and it will cost a lot to get that mediocre treatment.
I am familiar with the Canadian system. Completely mediocre with practices that lag 10-20 years behind state of the art in USA; but social justice warriors are happy because everyone gets the same low quality of treatment, and the government pays a lot.
Yeah. It's disgusting. I saw how my mother slowly died from peripheral vascular disease at 60 with amputations etc because of horrible treatment and wrong diagnosis for years. They couldn't even connect the dots when she got an ulcer in her foot. We did what we could to try and inform her, but she had complete faith in the doctors. "We live in the best country in the world". People honestly believe this, because we are being told that all the time. Norway has turned into a really scary country thanks to socialism.
But at least your social programs are being spent in some cases for good (??) causes. Small nation of 5 million people, same size as Atlanta, Georgia; wins more gold medals than any other country.
I suspect, like Canada, a huge social expenditure must be occurring for athletes who identify as Olympic hopefuls, so the government will support them for 4 years in their chase for a gold.
That's scary more than anything. Faith and loyalty in the wrong place is pretty much what makes practically every Shakespeare tragedy and many epics of history and the recent hit Baahubali.
