Thatcher said it best:

“Socialism is wonderful until you run out of somebody else’s money.”

He who provides, decides. If Uncle Sam is the provider, then he’s the decider too.

What’s funny about all this is what ISN’T written about - The UK, Canada, and the Continent all have a THRIVING private health care system, with insurance and everything. If you have the means, you can purchase both insurance and care from a network of private providers and facilities.

He already is to a large extent, esp. Medicare and Medicaid.

Not in Canada you can't. If you have the cash, you can't buck the system, you wait along with everyone else. It's illegal to pay a doctor to treat you ahead of others.

I understand some provinces in Canada are like Cuba and North Korea. They don't permit private health care.
