Every time something is screwed up in the US, there’s a bunch of people who scream “See! Capitalism!”
This, to my mind is unproductive and rather transparent advocacy for an underlying ideological inclination.
Sometimes things can be fixed without resorting to “Socializing” them.
Here’s something broken under a socialized mechanism: every piece of NYC infrastructure.
And you're not ideologically inclined in the opposite direction?
Look at what is already socialized: fire departments, court system, police service, the three-letter agencies, military, politicians presumably?, a lot of education (despite student loans), a chunk of the health service already, road network, probably a lot more things.
I put it to you – given that so much related to the public good is publicly funded and given that examples from the rest of the world abound that public health services are cheaper why wouldn't you socialize the bulk (> 90%) of health.
Clearly, to my mind, the reason why it hasn't yet happened in the States is down to government capture, a.k.a. lobbying, a.k.a. legal bribery.
