Title says it all. I’m in a country that has public health care, and in many aspects it is very good. Only downside is wait time. There’s also less and less funding every year, less and less quality, the whole process to destroy and later privatize what is a natural monopoly (such as water, electricity, etc) and a basic necessity for human life and dignity, and so on.
With that said, is it wrong for me to benefit from what is essentially a better service (because of factors mentioned above, not because private = “better”) because it is a capitalist enterprise? Same debate could arise from private energy companies, private transport providers, etc.
No. not wrong.
no self respecting communist would say yes to this. basically just another flavour of “socialist with iphone”. what other option do you have? live without electricity, dont eat, dont drink water, walk everywhere and fucking die?
anyway, take care of yourself the best you can, if u need to contract private services, so be it.
