It is PRIVATIZED medicine. You get only the treatment
the actuaries at your HMO say you will have. And if there
is any way they can deny you coverage after taking your
money for years they will do it.
This is the nature of insurance. It's a contractual thing. When you
buy fire insurance the insurance company doesn't necessarily cover
storm damage. Why not have universal government fire insurance?
Good idea.

Governing has become a way to get privileges for some at the expense
of others. ?http://www.capitaldistrict-lp.org/what.shtml
A "right" as envisioned by the Founders meant that the government was
not permitted to interfere with your pursuit of them, i.e., your
pursuit of happiness was to be unhindered by government. ?The "right"
of free speech means that government cannot interfere with ?your free
speech. The "right" of gun ownership means that the ?government cannot
infringe your gun ownership. What does "right" to ?health care mean?
It means that the government cannot stand in the way ?of your pursuit
of health care, or impede your obtaining health care. ?The "right" to
an attorney means that the government cannot prevent ?you obtaining an
attorney to represent you.
Of course, "right" has incorrectly come to mean that someone must
supply you with something. If your "right" to housing means that some
slave must supply you with housing, and your "right" to health care
means that some slave must supply you with health care, and your
"right" to an attorney means that some slave must supply you with an
attorney, does your "right" to free speech mean that some slave must
supply you with a loudspeaker, or TV air time? Does your "right" to
own guns mean that some slave must supply you with guns?

Dollars in the common treasury are like fish in the common sea -
anyone who can will harvest to extinction. That is why socialism is
fundamentally corrupting and can not work. The Fed is making a lot of
paper fish. This is an illusion of wealth. The real fish are gone.
