Stickfigure changed his comment from “drivers”/“airbags” to “skydivers”/“parachutes”
What I would say to “parachutes” is that evidently so many people do not go skydiving - why?
If doctors were peddling skydiving as a cure to anything, I would be just as skeptical as when they suggest radiating yourself to death.
This would be a reasonable belief if the USA was the only developed country to use chemo and none of the more Socialist European countries did. In fact, I'd be very wary of any such treatment.
But the reality is that all countries use it as a last resort. So the idea that doctors are recommending it for profit is obviously wrong: a Scottish doctor makes zero more money whatever treatment they recommend, so your theory is obviously wrong.
The facilities still purchase drugs and equipment from private manufacturers.
In your example of a socialist country where the doctor is not incentivized to sell Drug A - someone above him still is.
After all, big pharma sells their drugs to government sponsored health systems and hospitals too.
You are running with the idea of socialized medicine to mean that the country actually produces all its own manufacturing, research, etc. and that no capitalism occurs when that’s nowhere near the reality.
There is no such thing as a health system that focuses on preventative care and actually caring for people. The ones that do exist, people like you call “alternative” or wacky while chomping amphetamine pills and going bald from radiation poisoning.
The Scottish NHS really does care about treating people. I know several people who work there.
Your "people like me" spiel is a little lame because you are rather obviously ignorant of the world. Why don't you expand your knowledge rather than continuing here?
I don't really care if the original post is trolling. Frankly it's rather sad that people feel the need to get attention online by pretending to be stupid. I wish they had better lives.
