Socialized medicine

A dicussion on socialized medicine.

All theory, of course. All you have to do is check the VA or the IHS to see how bureaucrats can screw up medicine. Of course, if you can't afford medicine, it's better than no care, but next to the private system, it's second class.

So for immunizations, follow up, preventive medicine, and specialized care (Diabetes care for example) since the systems stress prevention, it is very very good.
TO pay for your bypass, fine.
But for "extras" like getting MRI's on your knee, forget it.
