It is more desirable to have some form of socialized medicine than a system of medical care relying on the private sector  Socialized medicine is more broadly accessible than is a private-sector system
In addition, since countries with socialized medicine have a lower infant mortality rate than do countries with a system relying entirely on the private sector, socialized medicine seems to be technologically superior
The lower infant mortality rate might be due to the system's allowing greater access to medical care.
