No they don't, private health system has been plenty of terrible injustices in the past because companies don't give a damn shit, and if all is rule by big companies they can agree to put the conditions they want, and those can be as selfish as they wish because they have the power. A government can be as selfish as a companie and even less effective, but at least you can choose your governemnt, at least there is the possibiliy of choosing someone that actually gives a shit. |
This is false. Universial healthcare does not mean public healthcare, you could also have universal healthcare with a private system as well. Some countries base their system around mostly the public sector such as France, others a more mixed system such as Italy while Swizterland has a mostly private system. What matters here is for healthcare to be universal not how it's financed.
You do not have much choice with your desired form of government, unless you like and live a dictatorship. Sooner or later your government will switch ruling parties into one which you do not agree with and you will be stuck with them for a period of time, that's just life. The point is in a public system, if the government does something to my public health insurance; I'm stuck with that, other than protesting until I am happy, or wait until another election cycle there is nothing I can do about it. In a private system all I would have to do is just switch to another company.
