Meaning that no system is flawless. These "problems" that you say these other countries with government healthcare are having, are miniscule when compared to the U.S. healthcare disaster.Comprehend said:meaning what?
I think I may have given the wrong impression. I don't think that socialism has caused South Africa's horrible economy.I replied that the secondary problems the poster listed were in my opinion a result of the same type of socialist policies. Meaning, socialist principles that cause problems in the HC industry (price controls, asset redistribution, etc) cause the poverty and a poor economy.
There are a variety of factors that contribute to South Africa's economy woes. Even if I did socialism helped caused South Africa's bad economy, I think for someone to pin it all on "socialist principles" is illogical. After all, Britain has adopted these socialist principles and I would hardly say that they have a poor economy. I'm not up and up on poverty in the U.K so I really can't comment on it.
