No! No it actually cannot, Socialist States are the controller and as all Socialist Countries will control! You cannot have Socialized Medicine by the State and not have the State mandate how its used!

Doesn't work that way!

France has the best healthcare system in the world. Universal healthcare.
Italy has the second-best. Universal healthcare.

And yet life expectancy in Canada is 82.2 years, compared to USA's mere 78.5. Lack of universal healthcare costs every US citizen 4 years of their life, in average (well, ok, it's only that, also higher inequality, more obesity, ...).



So? The country with a population the size of Texas compared to 360 million people?


What has the size of the country to do with life expectancy ?

Let me remind you no Country in the history of the World has risen more people form sickness and poverty and given more opportunity and education then that of the USA and Capitalism!

My choices are;

Screw Insurance Companies
Screw Good Doctors caught in a poor system
Screw People that were injured by Doctors mistakes
OR Universal Healthcare!

Are you fucking kidding me?

Whoever wrote this better be living in some bullshit socialist Country! I am so tired of the Anti American ways of life, all while sucking off the teets of the USA!

You've swallowed so much Fox News propaganda it's ridiculous. We have the worst healthcare system of any Western nation, and you're acting like we have the best. Americans go to Canada to get better drug prices for Christ sake.

Grass is greener on the other side, no?

Apparently my pretend country fires people for saying "Hi Guys" to a mixed gender group of people. Which, as we all know, is exactly what the left wants.

That's propaganda. The government mismanaged the economy there and is dictatorial. It should be noted though that single payer does not make Canada or Europe "socialist" though.

Just because I disagree with you doesn't mean I watch Fox News which I don't! Ad hominem doesn't strengthen your argument!

1. NationStates is meant as a satirical nation simulator. Straightforward options with straightforward results, no humour, would be dull.

2. If you want issues that tackle issues you are interested in, write them. We always recommend you draft in Got Issues?.

3. Nothing says speakers in an issue will be right. Speakers can be mad, bad, prejudiced and monumentally stupid (the speaker who suggests consuming lead is good for you springs to mind).

4. If an issue has no options you like, the delete button remains available for you.

Yes, Canadian healthcare can be shitty. The problem isn't socialization. It's bureaucracy.

Right-libertarian think tanks oppose it. I'm not surprised, but they're not objective either. Canada's problems can be fixed through reforms, but the healthcare model is good.

Actually, you can have a Universal Healthcare System with little government control. Germany sends its best regards.
That's neither here or there, though, and I am reasonably certain, that this would be off-topic.

In any case, back to the topic - there are a lot of issues, which arise in specific situations and take shots at basically all directions of the spectrum, mostly via unintended consequences.
But if you want more issues to show the glories of capitalism, why don't you write some yourself? The already mentioned Got Issues? is the right place for that.

You do realize that was an examination of elective treatment? Keyword "Elective". An elective procedure is one that is chosen (elected) by the patient or physician that is advantageous to the patient but is not urgent.

They're not sitting there letting people die. XD

I got one where my options were to cambodia the city dwellers, adulterate the food, or *shudder* allow free market enterprise. Why does NationStates have such a right-wing bias???????

No, I want issues choices to have diversity in choice, as I stated in my example above all to often the choices are bad, bad awful, horrible or bad

Fraser is actually right here. I've read this study before, and it's fairly accurate. It's just, the root cause isn't socialization. It's the level of micromanagement from the government, that isn't seen in countries like Germany.

Let's talk the real NS issues: why is is that I can choose extremely charmless options, yet my charmlessness rate drops? Help a guy out here, I'm going for top 0.1% in the world.

I'm not. Stop falling for The Greyzone just because America isn't that great. Sanctions came after the main crisis, which was homegrown.
