[Kulturkampf]

We can bring up all sorts of arguments why socialism doesn't work on just a fundamental basis.

What we see above falls into the category Thomas Sowell calls markets of size.


Administratively it is impossible for a government to dictate which each, individual hospital needs or deserves and then to ascertain all of the goods and distribute equally while at the same time preventing corruption through weeding out who really needs what and who is just lying.

In this case, we have Universities who do not have large amounts of funds that compensated by having their patients pay certain amounts (which they were apparently satisfied in doing); now that this has become illegal, the government still cannot provide them with what they need to accomplish surgeries and they cannot ameliorate the problems through making them pay a little extra for the services.

The result is these hospitals become more and more inefficient and useless while the few hospitals that can handle all of the demands become swamped.

It's impossible to properly manage everything for everyone through a bureaucracy. Capitalism wins out because each individual hospital / store /whatever can evaluate their own needs and the needs of their customers and get the job done.

The government cannot write policy for every Hospital in Turkey.
