2) I believe the free market would provide better/cheaper access to health care, if allowed to work.
3) In a sustainable system, some people will not get all of the health care that they might want. The money might not be available. The needed skills might be in short supply and available on to some patients, not all patients.
4) I accept the fact that I, the people I love, and people I have never met, may end up with "a death sentence" because medical attention which might be desired, is not actually made available on demand.
5) People who demand that all of the "tragic stories" have happy outcomes, are actually campaigning for an unsustainable system of socialized medicine, though they may not realize it.
Excellent points. No system is going to provide everyone with all the medical care they want, when they want it. That’s just the way life is. And we’re all going to die, of something, some time.
Hard choices have to be made - but they should be made by those who have to live (or die) with the outcome, not by bureaucrats who don’t give a freep, or even worse, by death-eater ideologues who get a thrill out of having the power to kill others with impunity.
