"Socialized medicine is another one of these liberal ideas that sounds great on its face, but can never really happen in a way that more people are helped than can be helped in a capitalist health care system."
But isn't the biggest advantage to nationalized health care precisely that it serves *everyone*?
"But isn't the biggest advantage to nationalized health care precisely that it serves *everyone*?"
You're still not correct, as "everyone" can never be treated equally. Even with a socialized system, there are only so many hearts that can be transplanted. Chemotherapy nurses can only work on so many people. There are only so many surgeons to perform so many surgeries. In my mind, there is absolutely nothing wrong with making better health care available to those who can pay for it. It's another example of how free markets can level out the playing field. Those who cannot pay, simply get sick and don't get taken care of, and in turn have smaller families.
