Yes, "nationalized", though i recently
read the news that the two-tier system
will become legal if not mainstream.The US is very litigious, and that may
be because of your history which emphasizes
individual rights and freedoms and protects
them by recourse to law; i suppose that
might be necessary when the provision of
these rights is not as generous.Yes, as you say if your doctor is notoriously
bad then switch. However you may need to be an optimist and a gambling man to think that the next
doctor will be better. Furthermore, it is not
the most civic-minded approach, when the homeless
and the underprivileged are lying on the street
dying in triple digit weather, without even the
therapeutic advantage of a bottle of water.
