Responding in detail as to why nationalization is a bad idea is on the same level has responding to comment about why the earth is not flat.

The evidence is clear, widely known, and most sane people do not suggest we should nationalize things, nor that the earth is flat

You seem to think that every highly developed country is insane (other than the US)...

You are correct I do. Time will prove me right as well given that most of those nations have very real and every systemic issues with their healthcare system that are pushed under the rug and never talked about because it goes against the narrative that Government run healthcare is best thing ever

What are these issues? Their outcomes are better than ours, and they pay less per person.

The UK has had nationalized health care for 70 years. Sweden, Iceland, Norway, Denmark, and Finland are not far behind (50+ years for each of those).

If these problems you're describing were caused by nationalization, wouldn't we have seen them already? 50-70 years is a remarkably long time for a national social program to run without running into any fatal issues.
