i mean people hear the words national healthcare and they are all up in arms screaming out no! socialism! Yet i wonder if they really understand socialism which is simply, a
Political-economic doctrine that, unlike Capitalism which is based on competition, seeks a cooperative society in which the means of production and distribution are owned by the government or the people.
Furthermore adopting national healthcare will not make us socialist, whether u feel that is a terrible thing or not, it will just give people a chance to be taken care of. there can still be private care for those who can afford it. national healthcare would cover the gap for those lower middle class and upper lower class individuals who can't afford healthcare and are not eligable for state aid. what is so wrong with that, and why do people believe it will lead to socialism? Furthermore what is really that bad about socialism anyway. BE SPECIFIC, SORRY THIS WAS SO LONG.
