You seem to think communism is the only alternative to the American system? Given how differently various countries run, and communism is almost dead (even China is not really communist anymore) its clearly not true.
The US (and the rest of the world) is run increasingly on oligarchic rather than free market lines anyway, so that is the real comparison.
Ah no that’s not what I said. But a lot of healthcare systems in Europe are close to communism yes (but they’re hybrid, there’s also some markets mechanism)
Universal healthcare is just an mandatory insurance scheme with an efficient centralized bureaucracy. You know, insurance, that thing that prevents markets from falling over when something goes wrong. We also have fun things like bankruptcy, which means some people don't get payed back. Should we reintroduce debter prisons to get rid of all the communism in the system?
