Beautiful article that cuts to the heart of the matter: socialized medicine can’t work because socialism doesn’t work.
I'm happy that you liked it, and you're right of course. I fear that far too many here in the USA are ignorantly enamored with 'anything European' as being 'more sophisticated' than the way things are done here. This comes from generations of listening to condescending Leftists and Socialists tell us how evil we are because we embrace Evil Capitalism and so of course we care nothing for the common man, yadda yadda yadda YAWN. Never mind that our economy runs rings around theirs on the worst days and those in Socialist countries who can will flock to our healthcare system in droves, given half a chance. All of this is lost on the Oprah listeners who look at 'anything European' in starry-eyed wonder.
There is a lot of work to be done over the next year in educating people on the truths of what you say..
