I'll call it, Leftist Self Defeating Propaganda. Forget costs, a scorpion vaccine in Mexico, $100, same exact vaccine in the good ole USA, something like $26,000.
See the scam? Someone's going into anaphylactic shock, they either die, or get something, anything, in this case just several thousand percent more than the original profit margin. Keep your crap authoritarianism, I mean socialism, I apologize :)

Why not revert to the social-capitalism of the early 20th century US that was so successful?
Instead we've gone back to the robber baron capitalism of the guilded age.

I'm strictly free market. There are some things I think should be socialized, like natural resources in many instances. Oil, and natural gas are great examples, they drill a well in one area, then pollute the entire area underground, as well above ground with pollutants; where's the compensation for those suffering from the effects? To further that thought, oil, usually when disaster strikes, the 'fix', is always socialized, but the profit is kept private.
For things like oil, I could see companies renting a patch of land, or paying back like what's done in Alaska.
Another reason I'm not for organized big medicine, or socialized, is I feel treatments are too restrictive. Allopathic medicine treats the part; basically changing the proverbial oil, or replace the part; where by (W)holistic treats the entire body as a complete unit; which I lean towards for myself. I think if it were socialized, allopathic would 'rule the day, by enforcement via color of law'; in turn potentially destroying other less toxic holistic treatments.

Agreed. It's easy to forget that we have been brainwashed into a different notion of what free economics actually means..
