As an European living in Spain:
- State healthcare = amazing, really good, you get what you deserve for your taxes
- Private healthcare = almost a scam, and on really bad issues, they send you to
the public healthcare
But, OTOH:
- State monopoly on telecomms (State owned Telefonica, kinda like your AT&T but being
publicly owned) = Astounding phone bills in the 90's
- Teleco liberalisation in the late 90's = cheaper prices for everyone, Internet with DSL
and flat rates everywhere, good services overall
America needs this. State regulated healthcare, and EU level food regulations. Lives
over profit. Upper class Americans somehow die sooner than low-class Europeans.
That's ridiculous.
Everything non-trivial for human life can be perfectly be as capitalistic as ever.
If you want an expensive smartphone, that's ok, go for it.
