Canada, Soviet Union, China. Almost certainly everywhere the state gains too much power.

The state tends to be incompetent and corrupt. The private sector will prioritize profits in a fiat world. Neither is good and both result in fewer helped and more dead over time.

Yes the state tends to be incompetent and corrupt, i agree on this. But then what we need is control on the state. Not the private sector (there are exceptions of course, the state can't provide everything).

What i really mean is that i hear wild stories from USA with the private sector on health there and i consider this situation trully barbaric

Lol The US hardly has private healthcare. It's the most regulated industry second only to the financial industry. And the government uses it's control of currency and healthcare spending to dictate a lot of things we do in healthcare (I work in healthcare). We have to do all sorts of goofy shit because of government. On top of that, competition is stifled by things like Certificate of Need laws that prevent competitors from coming into a given region. This leads to very few providers being able to essentially do whatever they want. And insurance (financial industry, the most regulated) is pretty well controlled by government to the point that we can't really innovate there either.

Well regulated doesn't mean public. It's the owner that counts...

So as i understand you are in USA and you work in healthcare. Tell us more please of how the system works or should work. For example i heard a story with one person having an accident and a finger cut. In the hospital they needed a significant amount of money, 5000$ or so to fix it. That person didn't have the money so they didn't fix it. They assured me that such barbaric stories are true in USA. Is it?

Owning something that is controlled by someone else is hardly ownership at all.

Ok then, tell the owners of the clinics etc to transfer their properties to me if they think they don't own them.

You are talking nonsense again

Healthcare is controlled by government at practically every point in the US. Government controls licensing too. It's impossible to have truly private healthcare in the US. Mostly because the bulk of the income comes from government spending (theft) and the inability of innovators to meaningfully compete.

You said it better than i could have.
