    If you ever try to build a public health system from the ground up in the US, don’t fall from the same mistakes we did in Europe. Namely, defunding public hospitals where most of the costly procedures happen and funding private hospitals with public money, where they mostly do low-risk profitable procedures. I could go on, but you get the irony.

    follow me here, maximum public heath, equals maximum productivity, which in turn means maximum shareholder profits overall

      Absolutely. The problem is the shareholders are probably mostly boomers, and they’re worried about their own profits, not profits for their kids or grandkids.
