France’s Problem Is Not The Elections. It Is Socialism. A Warning For All.

Not wanting to nationalize entire swaths of the US economy now makes you far right
Could you name some people in government that are advocating for that so I can more effectively stand against them?
You’ve never heard of universal healthcare?
Possibly the absolute worst example on the face of planet earth. As someone who is extremely anti-socialist, you picked the ONE example that I think the socialists have right, as there are too many imperfections in the market to make it efficient. It contains just about every problem you could ever have with a market - inability to see prices in advance, inability to evaluate the quality of work, baked-in monopolies... the list goes on and are not solvable absent extensive regulation that would likely distort the market in unpredictable ways such that even a government-run market is better than a purely capitalist one.
So good job picking the one example you shouldn't have picked.
Lol, look at the actual financial state of any universal system in Europe.
There’s a reason every single one has been quietly privatizing service delivery over the past 15 years.
The socialist system falls apart completely in a country with below replacement birth rates. Declining future income to pay the mortgage you take out today is terrible economics.
Before the state intervened in the healthcare market there was a crisis of price being too LOW, of course the one time state intervention is effective is when it fucks over the people.
American healthcare costs almost 2x as much as any public system on earth. It's literally the least cost effective solution to healthcare on earth
Due to ACA
It was the most expensive on earth before the ACA
So a day's wage for a year's coverage was a worse system?
When has that ever been the case? There's almost always pay at the point of use
So you ignore fraternal societies?
No one said the current American system was good either lol.
Neither Europe nor the U.S. can keep a population physically and mentally healthy. And they’re bankrupting themselves trying.
No one said the current American system was good either lol.
It's the only basis of comparison
