Socialized Medicine, Leaving Her to Die

That's pretty much what I just posted in the other health policy thread. Socialized systems try to save money in order to spread a global budget across more needs; private insurance companies try to avoid spending money in order to maximize profit. And no, they aren't sinking that profit back into improved patient care!

Perhaps none of the socialized health care models have been 'done right' yet. That doesn't mean we shouldn't keep trying.
