Can you not imagine the system being better than it is right now?
It works great. Could you explain how it could be better? Seems like a terrible idea to just change things with no evidence that it would improve things.
The entire healthcare system could use a rework but there is nothing wrong with this system in particular.
Profit serves no function and could be removed from the system entirely. You're just scared of change because you are a conservative.
Lol, no I am not a conservative. I just want to see evidence.
A system without profit is way too fragile because of corruption.
A fully communist system won't ever work because humans are human and they suck ass.
It's amazing that you seem to think for profit systems aren't corrupt lol
Soviet Russia (and Russia) is very known for being extremely corrupt.
I'll reiterate: it’s amazing that you seem to think for profit systems aren’t corrupt. Corruption only happens in gommunism amirite? 🙄
I didn't say that. Please re-read.
You are saying that government run programs are bad because of corruption, I get that. I'm telling you that this is an absurd position because you're presuming for profit systems aren't corrupt. It's ridiculous!
