Exactly. These Obamacare and single payer idiots miss the obvious. I simplify it by talking about pizza instead of healthcare.
Say you decide pizza is a human right and the government should provide it to all, equally.
Right now if you want pizza, you have to decide, deep dish or thin, a slice or a pie. How big of a pie? 6”? 12”? 25 inch? A giant sheet of squares on a tray? What do you want on it? veggies, pepperoni? Chicken? Anchovies? Any of a myriad of sausages? Beef? Ham? Pineapple? Mushrooms? Or just cheese? Cheese? Oh yeah, what kind of cheese? The permutations are endless. Dominos gives you 34 million combinations. Maybe you just want a slice from the gas station. Maybe you want frozen, and that ranges from Totinos to Paul Newman and California Pizza kitchen. Make a phone call and you can have pizza brought to you wherever you are.
In America, we practically throw cheap good quality pizza at you as you drive down the street.
Why? Because you can make a profit and earn a good living making pizza.
Now, imagine pizza as a “right” with single payer. Pizza immediately stops being a profit center and becomes and instant cost center. How much pizza a month is your right? Government pizza will be a once every 6 weeks treat and it will be frozen to maximize efficiency, and a committee will decide the style, toppings, size, etc.
You are a cost center. Now every time you get pizza, you cost someone money. You do not make someone rich. You are not the consumer who must be pleased. You are an annoying cost to be minimized at every opportunity, and in every way possible. The best you can hope for is school cafeteria or prison pizza.
Only an idiot wants a right to single payer government pizza.
Excellent analogy. I will pass it on if I chat with someone who thinks socialized anything is a good idea.
