My guess is that socialized medicine will lead to a scenario where, after the age of say, seventy, the proles will not be entitled to any state healthcare at all.
Kinda like Joe Haldeman’s dystopian sci-fi novel; “The Forever War”.
Aren’t doctors in the UK saying that already?
Forever War was great. Forever Peace sucked. The “heros” of the story ended up with a Nazilike utopian control.
