: If we didn't have capitalism here in the USA, many things would go
: wrong. Our HEALTH CARE would drop to almost nothing because all of
: our DOCTORS that make 200 K - 500 K a year would say "Screw this...
: I'm not going to bust my butt to save peoples lives and make the same
: amount of MONEY as someone working at McDonalds.
: EFFECT: Doctors leave... move to CAPITALISTIC country.Hardly true. Cuba has one of the best health care systems in the world
and their doectors certainly don't earn that kind of money. While the UK is a capitalist country, it's doctors working for the national health system don't earn anywhere near those figures either and they don't sod off to another country either. The UK health system was once the envy of the world - until starved of money buy the Torries.
Anyone earning such high wages is simply greedy. There is no need for anyone to have that kind of money and surely even you must realise that if your doctors are earning that much, somebody has to pay and the people that pay will be the patients. In you system, those that can't pay don't get the service that those that can pay will get. Therefore it is clear that under a capitalist system fails to care for the entire population. Without the capitalist system and the love of money - health care could improve, as could the overall level of campassion in society.
