In my opinion, the healthcare system in this country is currently on life support. The level of trust is lower than it’s been in at least 50 years and deservedly so.

We need to get over the idea that we have a "health care system". We don't. Systems are for socialists. We have a health care market, and it's being polluted and distorted by those trying to make it a "system".

The covid was the death knell for trust....I remember the wife called to make an appointment with a specialist and they told her they would meet with her in the hallway. WTF?

Negative, the NP that owns all the hospitals in my AO is called Valley Health System.

The other (and bigger) player is The University of Virginia Health System.

Between them they "own" most of the doctors too.

So yeah, it's a system.....Got a problem with that then you better call Webster.

Just ask people who go to the "emergency room" and find out that they have to wait in the waiting room for hours before their "emergency" can be attended to.

Just ask those patients whose doctors have decided to become concierge doctors. That is, patients who want to continue to see him/her will have to pay as much as $10,000 a year to become a "member." Granted, if you do so, you will be treated like a VIP.

As I pointed out, many are trying to turn it into a system. Thus the presumptuous naming. System is a means of control, and that's what they're aiming for. Freedom is better.

From a Canadian's POV, give the private health care system more time to work on improving it by bringing down the cost!

It's not just about the Covid mess, look at what they have done with gender theory, performing trans operations on children as well as the overall mental illness running rampant in the country.

The medical field is an absolute mess.

Why does it need to be banned?

Are you just riding the assumption that people are too stupid to decide for themselves and the government must do it for them?

LOL - it doesn't work because of all the ham handed attempts to regulate it into a "system". That's how we get cartels and insurance shitshows and ridiculously inflated prices.

Keep your system to yourself, and leave the rest of us free to do what we want regarding our healthcare.

They problem with the "systematizers", the socialists, is that they can't just mind their own business. If they want to start health care co-ops where they, and like minded people, can share and share alike, they can and should do that.

But of course that's not what they're after. They want to force the rest of us to join their circle jerk.

The plain dictionary meaning is what I meant, not your political coloration.

system noun 1 structure, organization, order, arrangement, complex, apparatus, network; administration, institution; informal setup.
2 method, methodology, technique, process, procedure, approach, practice, line, line of action, line of attack, attack, means, way, manner, mode, framework, modus operandi; scheme, plan, policy, program, regimen, set of principles, set of procedures, set of guidelines, formula, routine, tactic, tack.

Meh, like I said, take it up with Webster.

No. Life is more subtle that dictionary definitions. The attempt to "systematize" health care is aligned with the attempt to socialize it.

They didn't want to die?

Shame. Shame on them.

Perhaps he'd be happier if you called it a collection of cartels...

LOL....That might be closer to the truth!

Cartels propped up by regulation. Regulation, ironically, promoted by those who supposedly oppose cartels.

But going by the mishmash of idiologies in that dude's screed, I'm glad I wasn't a patient of his, in his later years at least.

He's like US presidential candidates, past his use by.
