This thread started with a characterisation of social medicine, which to my mind, demonised such a system entirely. You would have me accept that the picture that's been painted of your healthcare delivery system is skewed, inaccurate and probably wilfully false. Okay, I'll accept that as a possibility. I would suggest to you that your picture of socialised medicine is likewise skewed, inaccurate and wilfully false.

Both of those premises are possible. Both have truth and falsehoods. The fact is that we cannot take a system that works well in a country the size of Southern Calif and easily dump into one that is 50 times the size and expect it to work as nicely.
