"socialist systems cannot afford the \"true cost\" of health care - socialized systems ration care to satisfy the law of supply and demand, period. hence, the total expenditures may go down, but by no means are they getting the same amount of care for their dollar. once the last bastion of even remotely free market health care goes under, we will see the effects throughout the world, and more importantly, here in the US. \n  \n  \nVoters want to see their taxes go to pay for health care and eduction over everything else, it's an easy sell. Even in a global economic downturn our government had no choice but to offer treatment guarantees in the form of wavers for private hospitals, should capacity be exceeded, even including treatment overseas. If the system proves infective people will not stand for it, it's beautiful really, democracy in action. \n  \nThe overall impression is that the system works quite well and is not sub standard to anything, I dunno maybe excepting the platinum shield with oak leaves and complimentary caviar and spungebaths.  \n  \nNow, do you have any actual experience or evidence of UHC offering poorer quality treatment or is it really just apprehension and suspicion based on your personal conviction about what health care should be like ? \n"
