A new mom died after giving birth at a Boston hospital. Was corporate greed to blame? Spoiler: corporate greed was to blame. Private capitalist healthcare is a bad idea in theory -and in reality!

Hospitals shouldn’t be for profit in most cases.

Interesting take! I’d be curious to hear any thoughts on the Friedman doctrine as it relates to healthcare, and in broader terms of social services or just in general.

Well I’d have to read up on it. In all fairness it doesn’t ring a bell. That’s why I like Australia’s system. Public safety net but private for those who want more. I think that’s the model America needs.

Well now just hold on a gosh darned minute there Mr. Flippy Mcflopper, “A plumber should not be paying for your gender studies degree” and yet you want me to pay for treatment of people who gave themselves diabetes by eating too much heavily subsidized sugar?
Anyway if you are slowly coming around to democratic socialism thinking that’s great and I won’t tell anyone, but you should realize education is as important as healthcare to a functioning society.
