@sasha_sorokin@mastodon.social explaining this to people is so frustrating... I would also mention that people who live in countries with universal healthcare, still have private health insurance if they can afford it. Do they not wonder why it happens? Also there is a lot of middle ground between socialized medicine and pure free market, like for example the case of Luxembourg, where the state acts as a partial reimbourser of medical costs but not as a provider of healthcare. Or Germany, where under certain circumstances you can "opt-out" from socialized healthcare scheme
