MODERATORS
Because they state that free healthcare is automatically bad healthcare. Which, as a general statement, is just wrong.
Free Healthcare is a broad term for dozens of different policies in dozens of different countries. Just because OP's specific country has problems, doesn't mean that every single implementation of free healthcare leads to bad healthcare. Also a similar rhetoric is used as a dog whistle by the far right in the USA.
Additionally they are using a specific question about their situation, to rant about a much broader topic. This soapboxing called behaviour is generally frowned upon.
So the comment in isolation is wrong, attention seeking & looks like written by someone who is something between a manchild, that is unable/unwilling to present a nuanced opinion, and a nazi. All of which are imho criteria for a downvote.
