Now imagine a country where there is public healthcare, but it is blasted and underpaid so often by crony politicians because "healthcare" companies AND medics have a large pool of crony politicians to pay

I was just asking people to imagine Brazil :P

  1. You only say that because you live in Brazil and think the problems you list must be unique.
  2. You were making a cheeky stab at public healthcare, so I made a cheeky stab back.

And the UK and Canada. Maybe not as bad as Brazil, but the NHS is Britain is being eroded every single day.

This is why even the best welfare states are not good enough. The greed of the rich and the bendy spines of politicians will slowly chip away at the systems and privatize them.
