gollark: I personally support private system, but not through the US's horrible, horrible system, and UBI so people can reasonably pay for it.

gollark: The UK has the NHS, which at least mostly provides healthcare to people, but it has problems and burns vast amounts of money.
gollark: I'm not sure about the whole "government-paid healthcare thing", because the government is not very good at its job a lot of the time.
gollark: imagine not liking a reasonably good resource allocation system
