Socialized Health Care in the USA

[kandrathe]

The comedy of all this is that the US *government* already spends more money per person on health care than nearly all fully socialized systems. That's just the commie part, not even counting private costs, which are also overwhelmingly higher. So, the American system is already redder than the Reds, in one sense.

Absolutely. And, theoretically, central planning and distribution should be more efficient than one based on a profit motive. But, in practice, these least cost, most efficient profitless systems lack the one thing humans need. Motivation to keep pressing the food bar.
