I have lived in a country that had socialized medicine (New Zealand) so I believe I have a unique perspective. People that are against socialized medicine often complain that health care will be "rationed". That is true, however, it is also true that in this country under the current system, healthcare is rationed based on the ability to pay. Pick your poison.
