Pushes early and more treatable health concerns into later, less treatable, and more expensive concerns.

For profit healthcare operates even against its own interests.

An interesting argument you could make against our healthcare is that we all pay for unhealthy habits like smoking/drinking. The solution is that we tax the fuck out of those things and make them prohibitively expensive.

So idk. If you're anti socialized healthcare, I'd recommend you talk about how booze and cigarettes will get more expensive. The wait list bullshit is laughable when compared to going balls deep in to debt if you or your family ever get sick.
