In theory, tax payer paid healthcare is a good idea. In theory.

A new mom died after giving birth at a Boston hospital. Was corporate greed to blame?

Spoiler: corporate greed was to blame. Private capitalist healthcare is a bad idea in theory -and in reality.

Edit: fun fact: the private equity firm that owns the hospital in this story is called Cerberus Capitol Management - named after the three headed hound that guards the gates of hell.

Is this post here because conservatives love seeing the disabled suffer?

It's here because Canada is the only country in the world with tax payer paid healthcare. Wait, what? Most countries in the world have tax payer paid healthcare? I meant in North America. Wait, what? Mexico has tax payer paid healthcare too?

No, because liberals killed a disabled person with horrid policy. You got it backwards.

Liberals want a government funded health care system paid for by government taking other people's money and imprison everybody who won't give their money to the government, they demand a ban to private healthcare, but when there's no money for government to provide thorough treatment, they want people executed or killed off to save government money.

They say it's better for all people to suffer than for some individuals to do well.

Fun fact: The US healthcare system costs more IN TAXES than every other country's. And then you have to pay exorbitant amounts per month, and even more when you get sick, on top.
