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.

    There is a phrase in Russian.

    They give? You take. They hit? You run.

    Existing under capitalism is not a crime. No one is going to remember how you suffered pointlessly without medical care. You can’t cut yourself off from capitalism while the structure remains. That’s the entire point of Revolution. You don’t separate yourself and society from capitalism; you replace it.
