Healthcare in a Libertarian Socialist Society

Libertarian socialists have experimented with various forms of healthcare in their communities.

In the Zapatista communities, many health services are free for patients (unlike the surrounding hospitals owned by the Mexican government) and are of a higher quality (having more equipment) and do not treat indigenous patients in a racist manner. They often cooperate with surrounding hospitals, treating patients in other towns that are not controlled by the Zapatistas but do not have important medical imaging equipment. Zapatista health had led to a great decline in infant and maternal mortality, being a good provided of high-quality healthcare that was praised by the World Health Organization.
