all nations have ~~limited resorces~~ artificial scarcity, and ~~need~~ choose to ~~practice resource management~~ deny resources from those that need them most on behalf of those that already have most

There, fixed it for you.

This goes for both capitalism and communism.

Which everyone knows are the two only economic systems possible 🙄

Anything else would be to deny ~~reality~~ the dominant orthodoxy

Fixed it for you again. You're really guzzling that "my masters know best" kool-aid.

all boil down to if it is worth it to the country.

The fundamental purpose of governments is to maximize the well-being of the citizens and other inhabitants. When the government's aims are in conflict with the well-being of the people, the government has failed.

Automatically rejecting people as worthwhile based on putting them in one column or the other on a spreadsheet is a particularly grievous failure.

Well you sure do live up to your nickname, being all hippie, but why are you fighting me?

I just explained the reasons why a country would need a medical checkup of anyone moving there.

I am just an IT guy, I don't set policy.

why are you fighting me

Because you're not just reporting on the awful status quo. You're mis-characterizing it as natural and inevitable rather than a serious of choices, often wrong, that we keep letting people with questionable motives make on everyone's behalf to the benefit of those who already have too much while others suffer from not having enough.

Put another way, you're framing blind obedience to rules that haven't served the vast majority of people well as not just a good idea but the ONLY possibility.

You may not set policy, but whether you're aware of it or not, you're defending policy that needs attacking.

So which non-capitalist country/countries allow disabled and economically inactive people to migrate there for free healthcare?

Can't name one off the top of my head, but that's besides the point.

My point isn't about what IS, it's about what COULD and SHOULD be.
