Isn't it amazing how detached people can be from the real-world effects of their thoughts and beliefs, so long as they don't get to personally experience their impact?

I've personally experienced a universal healthcare system and its effects. It killed a family member and almost killed me.

Sorry for that guy's experiences, but the sort of things he went through are systems and programmes you'd get in most governments throughout the whole political landscape.

Is the view that this wouldn't have happened under private healthcare predicated on something in particular? It's not like private healthcare is somehow fundamentally immune to malpractice.
