I agree with nationalizing the health care system. It really is in everyone’s best interest to have a healthy population. Of course, we should de-nationalize early retirement via SSI – or at the very least they should have to fucking trim government bushes or something for their benefits if they don’t want a real job. Back to health care, I actually want health care not only nationalized but fucking ENFORCED. I don’t want some ignorant meth heads starting a plague. Lets force them onto wellbutrin too or one of those other addiction ablating drugs we’ve found. A healthy populace is a productive populace. Effective health care with a heavy emphasis on preventative care will whip us back into shape.

If we socialize medicine, we socialize the effort to stop AIDS, thereby enhancing our gay community and helping gentrify inner cities. Done right, the possibilities are endless. Of course it’s easy to fuck up too, but if it’s set up to be fully transparent (the very thing doctors are fighting nowdays) of course with respect to patient privacy laws. Have the patients rate the care they receive anonymously, and run database metrics on the ratings to identify problems and seek to fix them. Don’t seek to punish except in obvious law-breaking scenarios, instead seek to streamline the process of getting the patient cared for and the doctors and patients with compatible personality types to prevent friction through the system (there of course is nothing perfect and some people will just be discontent, whatever, pill them up with attitude correctors that have caffeine and glucose in them so they’ll be addicted to something that makes them behave).

Everyone loves to hate on socialization, especially capitalists, but capitalist landlords fucking LOVE section 8 because they get guaranteed HIGH rent because it’s artificially inflated and always paid on time. Screws honest guys like me, but hey, that’s capitalism, I should be renting a slum to the .gov for some pillhead and getting paid.

We should take hospitals, make them bigger, put them in park-like settings open to the community (they’re public property if they’re socialized, right?) and encourage people to volunteer their time for tax credits, free food if they’re homeless, whatever be it (of course wall that shit in so transients aren’t living there, but since it’s socialized healthcare, homeless volunteers who are actually trying can stay at a homeless shelter there, why not?).

Make all the rooftops hydroponic organic greenhouses with built in solar-still style water reclamation systems, pump all the carbon dioxide and humidity laden air from the breathing people inside the hospital up into the greenhouse, let the heat capture the moisture and collect it to water the plants or grounds.

Put it in the center of the city, and build a transportation hub around it, and you will have a flourishing commercial district.
