If you have a poke through this detailed analysis of the healthcare systems of 11 advanced countries, you'll see that countries where healthcare is socialized through taxes and free at point of use (e.g. UK, Aus, NZ) rank as having some of the best healthcare in the world (#1, #2, #4), while the US is the worst-ranked of the 11 countries."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
"Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell
"[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein

But Jimmy is trying to qualify it further and say just "affordable" - which is not what people want when they talk about socialized medical, they want it to not cost them anything at the doctor's or hospital. They want the taxes to cover it all. Like in New Zealand.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
