Is the American Public Education System 'socialism'? Public owned buildings. State paid Teachers. Free to every child.
Frank: "Another part is the scare tactic of "socialism." "
Jack: Yeah. The Lobbyists do a good job with that.
The American Public Health System could be: Public owned buildings (Hospitals and Clinics). State paid Doctors (and Nurses). Free to every person.
Like Public Schools, there is a limit. There's no guarantee of a University education. I would expect the same would be true of a Public Health System.

Yes we have an absolutely wretched system, but at least some people get decent care in the end.
"Hospitals are suffering serious shortages of vital medical equipment such as ventilators, pumps to administer drugs, and oxygen cylinders during the NHS’s ongoing winter crisis, the Guardian can reveal.
The surge in numbers of people needing care has also led to some hospitals running out of beds for patients to sleep in, mattresses to lie on and trolleys to use while they wait for admission.
NHS England has said the service is under the most strain it has faced since the 1990s. Patients have faced long waits for beds on trolleys in overcrowded hospitals, more than 100,000 patients have been stuck in ambulances waiting to get into an A&E unit, and senior doctors have written to Theresa May warning that patients have been “dying prematurely” in hospital corridors.
For example, Southmead hospital in Bristol has recently faced shortages of equipment including syringe drivers – which staff use to give drugs to dying patients – drip stands, infusion pumps – which ensure patients receive correct doses of fluids and medication – oxygen cylinders, and pressure-relieving mattresses, which help to prevent bed sores."

I mean why can't we be more like the UK and let the rich people die in the hallways with the poor.
America's doctors expect to be wealthy .....

You should get started with the personal funding on behalf of all of them.
Interesting how when you say societal approach it comes out an unwillingness on your part to personally do what YOU say should be done for those for which you claim to care.
Isn't personal responsibility an American value? Why do you support the rest of us being forced to fund something for people who show irresponsibility by not providing themselves with something it's their place to provide? It's not the taxpayers responsibility to provide people who won't do for themselves whatever they want.

Again, it's easy to prove I'm not your son.
You can't redistribute something to a group that is constantly expected to pay a higher proportion to society than they should while the freeloaders on the other end of society regularly beg for something while contributing nothing to society.
