Nothing is free. I expect that's the problem regardless of the system and that system's unique shortcomings.

Well, that and the way the rich just get richer and horde all their wealth.

I don't see a solution. If you have "free" public healthcare, you have politicians, **** mental health services, and decreased autonomy. If you have a private system, profits come before all else, it is also highly politicized (at least here), and the costs can get pretty ridiculous (especially when you force them to cover everybody).

Nope. I just don't see a solution, unless the miserly rich ****s decide to stop being so damn selfish and hording more money to themselves than they can even spend.
