1. Socialized medicine is worse.
2. If socialized medicine denies health care to people, why bother with it? Because…
3. …it leads to the usual avalanche of negative side-effects of socialism. One of which is that the…
4. …middle class and poor will get stuck with socialized crap-care, while only the rich would be able to afford quality private care. Go equality!

And yes, I know the current bill up for vote today does not instill single payer socialized medicine, but it’s a stepping stone to that end because it puts such restrictions on private insurance, the private industry is likely to collapse in years to come. Just ask Obama!

While more comprehensive than just Aspirin, government administered health care systems around the globe similarly give the illusion that everyone has access to health care by first declaring that everyone has coverage, but then limiting what that coverage is.

And why is that? For the same reasons every other socialist system fails to live up to its promise:
1. Any system where some people are put in charge of OTHER people’s lives and OTHER people’s money is not going to be a paragon of efficiency, to say the least.
2. The government is limited in it’s ability to collect taxes from its citizens to fund it.
