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.
In the UK where there’s universal healthcare, we had Dr. Harold Shipman who murdered a lot, and a current court case with Lucy Letby who killed 8 newborns. Malpractice happens in every system regardless of how it’s funded.
Probably not the place for a discussion about healthcare systems on a meme shitpost thread, but I do think there’s better alternatives to universal healthcare where standards usually drop for everybody. Obviously, there’s some godawful private systems too, just look at America.
nice anecdotes. the data say more socialized systems have better performance overall, time and time again.
i would link you, but being a smart conservative, i’m sure you know the googles and how to separate emotional arguments and facebook memes from reporting on data-driven studies.
I’ll note that it’s extremely hard to vet for that sort of behaviour in doctors and preempt the cases you’ve described from happening - they could have just as easily happened under private healthcare.

it’s one step away from a toilet paper usa astroturfing bit

I totally agree, the American system is awful. Germany, on the other hand, has the most beds per person in the G7. Fully insurance driven.
