Socialized Health Care in the USA

[Jester]

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.

Hunh? Hasn't all the data pointed in exactly one direction: that whatever the disadvantages of the various single-payer models, they provide levels of care that are on average better, for much less money?

How does your criticism make any sense in that context? Are you saying that a universal health care plan will stop people from working for a living? Because that's just bonkers.
