I remember reading that this is a huge problem in Japan. The elderly have nothing to do, so they just go to the doctor. Get's them out of the house. And all visits payed for by the government.

Thus is the end result of ANY SOCIALIZED MEDICINE! Anyone ever go to a MILITARY HOSPITAL and wade through a mob of MILITARY DEPENDENTS socializing while awaiting their children's visit with a doctor for a fever or cold?

At the older end of the scale, elderly folks who just want "someone to talk to" crowd into clinics and hospital waiting rooms armed with their medicare cards!

The phenomenon is not limited to illegal aliens!!!
