I really think you should be careful extolling Universal Health Care in Italy as a positive thing. Italy, with its Universal Health Care, had to choose which people that they would let die for lack of respirators and had people stacked up in hospitals like cord wood. Meanwhile, NYC had a much higher case load per capita than did Italy yet they never lacked for respirators or hospital space. If any one thing argues against Universal Health Care it is how poor it has proven to be in emergency situations like a pandemic.
