Quote: John Goodman Singapore trolling

I’ve often heard conservatives and libertarians praise Singapore as, broadly speaking, a model of health care policy that they embrace. Words like “free market” often get thrown around in this context. But it’s rarely clear to me what exactly it is about Singapore’s health care system that American conservatives favor. Oftentimes I think they’re simply confused.
