Capitalism needs to have fences around it, rules and regulations to prevent abuse. Other than that, yes I'm 100% for it. But you ducked the question.

No. By law these are critical health issues. And is a small portion has a difficult time there are ways to remedy that without tossing out the whole system in favor of one where the entire population has a problem accessing this type of care.
