Minnette almost gets it.
Socialized medicine can NEVER work
“None of these problems mean we should abandon the idea of a universal shared system of healthcare. Its clear we would not want the American model, even if it isnt quite as bad as portrayed by Moore. Its clear our British private medical insurance provision is a rip-off. I believe we should as a society share burdens of ill health and its treatment. The only question is how best to do that and it seems to me the state-run, micromanaged NHS has failed to answer it.”
The definition of socialism (Marxism) is state control. Her remedy must be more state control. The idea of markets, economic freedom, and distributed decision making is alien to her at least for health care. The idea that health care is a public good that should be distributed by a central authority is ludicrous. Rationing, long lines, and poor service are the only logical result except if you have the cash to pay for your own health care.
