Tom's button is deeply pressed
There was a graph in the economist a few weeks ago...
(sorry no link)
showing that the US spent 13+ % of GDP on healthcare.
A country like Britain spends less than 8% on healthcare yet it provides universal treatment. The option is also there to buy private.
Does the UK system "fail utterly, and result in far more human misery than is ever seen in capitalist systems."? Hardly.
Do they "legitimately control nutrition, clothing, driving...any human activity which could in some way incur a health cost." Once again, nope.
Until that basic truth sinks in, I don't know where else I can go from here
