Surely if we allow them to privatize parts that should fix the funding issue, hopefully people only need healthcare they can afford!

Oh noooo after constant budget cuts and capping health care worker wages at far below minimum wage our health care system isn't working! Time to privatize I guess

If they privatize even HCW couldn't afford healthcare
