America is a sink or swim country and there's no life gaurd on duty. If you want socialism/communism, just move to China, Russia, North Korea, or Cuba because that shit ain't gonna happen here.

Sorry

The fact that public healthcare probably won't happen is different from the argument that we should trust predatory insurance companies.

Plus you don't have to go to China for public health care. You could go to Canada or the UK, obviously. And they're capitalist as fuck. Although capitalism will likely get rid of their public healthcare eventually, they haven't succeeded yet.

Those states fucking suck and no socialist or communist in the western world will tell you to envy them. Can I ask for a bit of social democracy (scandinavian governments) though, as a treat?

You don't have to worry about that if you have a good job with premium health insurance.

And if you don't have a good job with premium health insurance?

If you want socialism/communism, just move to China, Russia, North Korea, or Cuba

Ah yes, contemporary communist Russia!
