Re: You forget...

I'm guessing you're talking about Canada (if not, let me know).

Rationing in Canada is, at this point, relatively benign in appearance, expressed mostly in extended wait times instead of front-end rationing. Any resulting deaths are quiet, and off the radar. That, and anyone with a serious problem and no time can go across the border.

This is what's going on in Canada, as they begin to reach the inevitable failure point of all socialized medicine. Britain is just further down the road.

Here's a company that makes a living referring Canadians to private providers.

Socialism is based on the fantasy that we can have all our needs met for free, and it will all be paid for by bad people nobody likes. It's an appealing fantasy, and sells well for politicians. That it is unworkable is not a good selling point, and politicians who try to bring reality into the process tend to lose elections.
