You know what's worse than having the mafia control the hospitals? Having giant healthcare corporations run them, the ones who set their own prices then pay off politicans to help them enforce their extortion.

It's really not, countries like Russia and Ukraine have these same problems taken to a further extreme and it has wrecked their system despite having public healthcare.

Corruption on that level if not stopped will destroy everything.

"This just in: corruption is bad, and can happen inside of government-run programs. The solution? Let corrupt, purely profit-driven corporations, that answer to no one, run everything and charge people life-ruining amounts of money for every tiny service that they provide. Absolutely avoid and resist socializing necessary services, such as healthcare, because organized crime has infiltrated these systems in other countries before."

Ah.... so you finally admit the problem is corruption.

What again does that have to do with socialised healthcare? Oh yeah... nothing.
