Here is a preview of things to come if the current path for healthcare is not repealed. A government system will destroy cost-containment (competition is the best method to keep prices down), so it will be rationing. The first method of rationing is waiting. We see this being used by the Veterans' Administration throughout the country. Vets wait weeks or months for an appointment, some of them dying during the wait. Yes, this was a scandal a few years ago but the problem persists. However, now it is just old news. Move on. If waiting is not containing costs enough, then denial of service kicks in. Oh, but it will work in the United States. Sure, the Obamacare Exchanges are going bankrupt but that just proves that business is too greedy to run things. Yes, it is time for single-payer, just like the UK's National Health Service.
It is very unfortunate that we cannot learn from the experience of others. Nationalized healthcare, Muslim immigration, high taxation, excessive regulation, and multiculturalism have all resulted in decline in Europe. But we will do it so that it works! Ah, optimism.
