We are living proof that privatized medicine is not the best practice.
If you somehow think that the United States is in the evil grip of a “privatized” health care system, you need to wake up and smell the regulation — not to mention the subsidies. The second any person in the US (legal citizen or not) strolls into an emergency room and gets treated for anything — and someone else is paying for that service — I maintain the concept of private care is shot.
Once we accept that we’re all paying for one potential freeloader — a concept gleefully embraced by our “liberal college kid” and certainly by Mr. Moore — the rest is just fussing over details. Showing, say, an illegal immigrant getting treated for a broken arm is probably not nearly as dramatic as sailing to Cuba — but scenes like this are played out in US hospitals every day. Explain to me how that represents “privatized medicine” and I’ll consider the rest of your points.
