Ironic that you'd say that because Doc Goebbels was a huge advocate for Socialized Medicine for the masses. like all of the rest of the national Socialists.
Germany had single payer socialized medicine since Bismarck. It wasn't an issue of contention before, during or after the Nazis.
But only for the masses. While the people had to endure government provided medical doctors like Dr. Joe Mengele, who engaged in all kinds of questionable practices, the elite brought in top, private doctors for their own treatment. Fuhrer Hitler used the highly rated Dr. Ted Morrell, who was well versed in the cutting edge treatments of the 1930's and 40's, including the recently discovered Crystal Meth.
Morrell was a quack who probably did Hitler more damage than good. He shot the guy up with all sorts of Drugs. Even the other Nazis didn't want to use Morrell...
Then again, if it weren't for Morrell keeping Hitler more drugged up than Elvis, Germany might have won the war.
Morrell used cutting edge treatments, some of which were indeed found to be lacking later. But he was head over heels a better doctor that government paid sawbones Joe Mengele. Remember the patient, Mr. Hitler, suffered from PTSD as well as Intermittent explosive disorder. In addition, he was severely wounded in the First World War and may have been suffering from VD, aids, or hep, which was consistent with Mr. Hitler's documented status as a Flaming Homosexual.
