Does size matter?
Size of a society, or a matter of scale.
Now that I have your attention with the suggestive thread title, let's get serious. For the sake of this conversation, let's not quibble over whether Universal Health Care (UHC) is a good idea in general, or not. There are other societies that seem to do UHC fairly well. But... they also tend to be much smaller in terms of scale (population).
Even if UHC is technically workable, would the sheer scale of our larger society make it unworkable?
