National healthcare systems ration care. This is because 'free' or deeply discounted care causes demand to soar while there is no incentive for supply to increase or for providers to exert themselves to meet demand. "Honest" and "responsible" systems like Canada's and the UK's admit this.
Our Federal stupor state is by no means honest or responsible. Not willing to admit that a bureaucracy giving stuff away for free leads to massive unservable mobs at the door and unable to admit to rationing they lie and cheat.
Which is what is happening already with the VA and Medicaid and is beginning to happen with Medicare and of course O'care. The Gods of economics are not mocked and their wrath is terrible to behold.
But hey! LBJ and BHO made demigod in the progressive pantheon off these heakthcare fiddles so they got theirs. Let the rubes get their own glory. Seventh VA office finds secret waiting list.
