Healthcare and homelessness were both better than the US up until the last decade of the Soviet Union. If capitalism needs it's boom and bust cycles and we think that 40k+ people dying from joblessness every recession is acceptable surely we can afford the same level of devastation when discussing socialism right?
US is a craphole. Capitalism provides great healthcare literally everywhere else.
