But the British government doesn't employ doctors and doesn't own the facilities. It is not socialised.
They don't need to be owned or employed by the government for it to be socialized. You're confusing communism with socialism.
Can you do me the basic decency of reading my first message, way back two months ago, which you responded to?
I know reading is really hard, and two months ago is forever ago, but if you try really hard, I'm sure you can do it.
Two months ago I said something like "in Canada..." To which you responded "that's not socialized healthcare"...
Now, does "Canada" sound like "the United Kingdom"?
Wow, isn't that something!
Now that we've established I EXPLICITLY WAS TALKING ABOUT CANADA!!!, with regard to the UK...
"All English residents are automatically entitled to free public health care through the National Health Service, including hospital, physician, and mental health care. The National Health Service budget is funded primarily through general taxation. Which is a single payer healthcare system based on tax, instead of a capital driven multi-payer system, which is exactly what socialized medicine is.
I replied to a person asking for a clarification for a non American. I gave an example from a non American perspective. Do you have basic context following skills?
Good god, you are a dense one, aren't you.
Since you can't be bothered to scroll back to the start of the conversation, I did it for you, where you said Canadian healthcare is not socialized.
Also, thank you for ignoring all the examples of how the UKs healthcare is socialized, weather you want to admit to basic reality or not.
