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. I have it as well because my ‘public’ health insurance, which is for a private company as well, doesn’t even cover dental care for example. I’m not going to let my teeth rot away because of my strong communist principles lol. Sometimes you have to live in society.
