Okay, so how do you explain the best healthcare systems being universal government funded ones today? That kind of debunks your whole homicidal thesis.

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.

Wait, you're citing government monopoly healthcare as proof that competition and choice don't work when you of all people know how anti-choice the corporate cartel system in the US is? And then you simply declare dissent to be advocating murder? What kind of anarchistic foundation are you trying to build from here?

I know you'll likely whinge about the source, but please, give this a read.@valued-customer's statement seems historically accurate and plays a huge role in the mess we have today. In addition, the AMA has been fighting for a century or so to kill mutual aid societies and worker cooperatives that reduced medical costs. When FDR imposed wage caps in the 40s, health insurance benefits were specifically exempted from taxation or wage cap consideration, establishing a permanent tie for benefits to wages, and killing rational economic calculation on the part of all involved in the industry. The mess of today is a consequence of crony capitalism, not free markets, and that is why there needs to be a distinction in terms. But in the English-speaking world, both ideas are still called "capitalism," and that is why ancaps use that term. but to say they favor the political interventions and bear responsibility for its failures is intellectual dishonesty.

The best health outcomes in the world are in countries with universal healthcare systems. The USA does not have one, which is why we are usually ranked in the 20s for that metric.

Again, how do you decentralize healthcare? In the year 2022, explain how we can decentralize healthcare?

Just because I don't want to abolish the government tomorrow doesn't mean I'm not an anarchist. Again, the core difference between us is that I understand our place in history and you are playing Minecraft.

You know, I just wrote a post on health care in America a week ago. Perhaps a discussion on health care is a better fit there? I am hardly a friend of the corporate status quo, but I have very serious questions about a government monopoly as a viable alternative, because I am an anarchist.

again, anarchism isn't pretending that dissolving government tomorrow makes sense. You're misusing that word (which is funny given this post title)
