when did the USA become a capitalist system?

$50 billion in farm subsidies say they are socialists.

Public education system say they are socialists
More was collected from the farmers than given out so they were loans that were repaid.

Because it totally depends on people having jobs to pay. For it. And deliver the services.By Medicare I am assuming we are talking about US healthcare., Even Canada's system is run on a capitalist structure with most drs being self employed even though its inception is usually attributed to a socialist.

Absolutely.

Buddy thinks that because the spirit of Cdn healthcare is 'free' that it magically qualifies as a socialist construct.

Never once is it questioned that the cash to fund it derives wholly from the efforts of private sector revenues.

The "free health care" is that people who have their health numbers provided by their province don't have to pay up front for their care. Otherwise, it's not 'free' per say.

At least we don't need to worry about being bankrupt by having something happen medical wise.

Northern Ontario,
I would guess that those who don't pay any taxes think it's free...
I'm retired and I still get to pay taxes not as much as before with income splitting "Thank you Mr. Harper"
But I still get to pay some.


And except for a colonoscopy every 5 years, I only see the doctor once a year!

The flip side of that is that you also have to wait in line for needed services. So your much needed knee surgery so you can go back to work to continue paying taxes waits because there is someone that doesn't work ahead of you in line.

Not to mention they are causing some of the medical situations themselves because that is where the massive drug company profits are. I was just told that it's a good thing I figured hyperinsulemia was the cause of all my heart problems and how to cure it myself, or the doctors would be turning me into an open gate for tax dollars to flow away to corporations like Johnson and Johnson who were just convicted of causing the opium epidemic to make profits. No jail time, so the government is just cashing in on all that genocidal misery too.

At least 80 % in Ontario, where diabetes is DESTROYING our health care system, have this "pre" or "causation" disease, which is caused by eating healthy and doing what your doctor says. What causes this "insulin resistance" at the cell level? Why sugar AND INSULIN...of course...and eating sugar and carbs like the government says is healthy.
