The whole promise of big government and socialized medicine is that it’s some kind of panacea for the poor. You think it’s right to lie to them about this?

Of course not. But as I said, the wealthy tend to have nicer stuff. Socialism and big government like to think they can change this, but of course they can’t. Now, who gets “the nicer stuff” might be the party elite. They might not be capitalists, but they still get the special stores, the dachas, the best medical treatment, etc. etc. The idea that everyone will get the “same high quality care” (whether it’s medicine, or an airline seat, or a meal, or a spouse) is absurd. It is sad that the poor (who also lack the quality education that might enable them to see this) constantly fall for the lie.
