Socialized medical care = rationed medical care.

Soon, rationing will be by government guidelines and edicts.

Then, the sad commentary will be:
First, they came for the drug addicts. But I didn't use drugs, so it didn't matter to me.
Next, they came for the drinkers. But I didn't drink, so it didn't matter to me.
Then, they came for the obese. But I wasn't obese, so it didn't matter to me.
Then, they came for the weak and unproductive. But I was afflifted by neither, so it didn't matter to me.
Then, they came for the elderly. But I'm only 50, so it didn't matter to me.

It seems you've learned the lessons of history very well.

The Terri Schiavo case was a wake-up call to me. The so-called "right-to-die" has been morphed into the "right to euthanize". Canadians worry about the effects an aging population will have on our health care system. I fear that we've already seen the solution.
