A lot of people are perfectly happy with private healthcare. I happen to be one of them. But I'm also not opposed to my tax money funding the county hospital either. We can have both.

Private is not the same thing as for profit. A non-profit is a private entity. They are not part of the public sector.

In fact, much healthcare was delivered like so pre-WW2. Still today, Kaiser and Cleveland Clinic are non-profit.

I will mention again for the fun of it, that private healthcare for profit works very fine in other places, like Switzerland for which I can vouch. There might be a lesson somewhere, maybe?

I'm happy with my private, for-profit healthcare. But I'm also glad to support public healthcare services with taxes. It's not just one or the other, we can have both of them.

Probably because you are generally healthy...
