The problem with socialized medicine

All you Hillary sycophants out there who think it's a good idea to hand over every aspect of your miserable lives for the government to take care of, this is what daily life will be like trying to get medical care in this country if she succeeds in ramming socialized medicine down our throats...

This an exerpt by an article in the City Journal called The Ugly Truth About Canadian Health Care by David Gratzer.

Socialized medicine has meant rationed care and lack of innovation. Small wonder Canadians are looking to the market.

Mountain-bike enthusiast Suzanne Aucoin had to fight more than her Stage IV colon cancer. Her doctor suggested Erbitux—a proven cancer drug that targets cancer cells exclusively, unlike conventional chemotherapies that more crudely kill all fast-growing cells in the body—and Aucoin went to a clinic to begin treatment. But if Erbitux offered hope, Aucoin’s insurance didn’t: she received one inscrutable form letter after another, rejecting her claim for reimbursement. Yet another example of the callous hand of managed care, depriving someone of needed medical help, right? Guess again. Erbitux is standard treatment, covered by insurance companies—in the United States. Aucoin lives in Ontario, Canada.

Think about it. Do you want the same reprobates who run the Department of Motor Vehicles deciding who and when you can see a doctor? Do you want the same lazy, clock-watching degenerates who run the U.S. Postal Service and the I.R.S. scheduling your doctor's appointments and deciding what medical treatment you may have?

There's a reason America stands as Reagan said, a bright shining city on a hill. It's because we still maintain what resembles a free, competitive market in most areas, including health-care. America isn't the greatest country on Earth because of it's government. It's great because of it's individuals and their achievements. When you take the individual and the competitive market out of health-care, you wind up with a boondoggle of a bureaucracy like the DMV, the Postal Service, or the I.R.S. Is that how you want access to your doctor and the medicines he uses to save your life regulated? If so then vote for Hillary Clinton.
