India, which has actual capitalist medicine, has an extremely effective and cost efficient health care system. Scott Alexander even mentions this in the article.
I personally endorse the Indian medical system; everyone I know (including myself) who has a choice prefers to use it over any other system.
Primary schooling in the USA is not remotely capitalistic. There is no competition between schools. Similarly for transit construction; you get to ride whatever subway the MTA decides to build at whatever price they decide to pay for it. Similarly, capitalistic transportation system in the US (read: Uber + Lyft for people, Amazon + Walmart for materials) has been driving prices down.
Your "blame capitalism" theory doesn't really fit the facts.
