But you seem to ignore consistently how poorly the systems work. Healthcare is meted out and many do not receive the care they need; so many from all over the world come to the US to get health care they need and can't obtain in their own country's socialized health care. Incidents of malpractice are at least 18% higher in the best of these systems and the average is more than 50%. Costs are much higher as well becuase tax rates are higher to pay for the systems. I have friends here in Silver City from Canada, over 20, that hate the execution of the idea; empty beds and so on. And medicine is only sometimes cheaper; it is heavily subsidized by taxpayer money so the real cost is not cheaper. Take medical marijuana; cost to the user is 1500% over the cost to the government... Socialized highway system barely works…
