Thats why I don't support socialized health care. However, I do support socialized health insurance.
No one in their right mind should support socialized health care, because we already have all the infrastructure we need.
Countries that DID erect socialized systems often did so because it was apparent that government help in building out the infrastructure in places where it was deficient would speed the process altogether.
Canada was extremely rural and very spread out and remote at the time they instituted their system.
Britain was largely in ruins from World War Two when they set up theirs. Thus necessity was the mother of invention.
With the USA, all we need to straighten out is how to make it universally affordable and accessible. We already have the infrastructure in place.
