Any comment on this? Isn't this the eventual conclusion of all such centrally planned ideas? This is for those progressives who are planning the same thing for the USA.

Oh I think it was because you're a bitter lonely fuck living in the middle of a city where everyone thinks your political beliefs are batshit crazy.

That sucks. I mean it's so nice to live a country that does it right.

You know? A country that rations based on wealth rather than need.

I'm sorry...what? Do you think we don't ration in this country. Oh, you did know? But you'd rather have some greedy MBA make the decisions about acceptable operations than a panel of medical professionals. Totally. Because choosing which insurance company is going to let you die is WAY better than living with government run healthcare. Yay capitalism!

Rationing based on wealth is just another way of saying: "Services cost money".

Yes they do. Welcome to reality.

Not sure how to argue with you on that since it literally had no baring on my previous statements...

Or maybe I should say...Yeah, screw the people who can't afford complete health insurance, get unlucky, get sick and die...they were poor, they deserved to die! As long as we stick to our free market principles, society as a whole will be better off. Ayn Rand would be proud.

Poor people don't receive health benefits? Since when!!? I'm going to call a big fat BS on this.
