Socialized medicine in the countries that have it works well if people have no serious problems. They limit how many doctors can become specialists. Therefore access to them takes a lon time and many people die before getting treatment. When people get older they do not have the strength to wait very long for treatment. Look at the cancer treatment results in this country and the others with socialized medicine and you will see a very significant difference in cure rates. Same with other life threatening difficult problems.

In other words the end result is grandma would be left to fend for herself for too long. Just hang her out to die because she could not get timely treatment.-

LIes, lies, lies, lies and even more lies...

But that's what we've come to expect from people like you Endoscopy.
Your lies have been debunked and refuted time and time again by people who actually live in countries with universal healthcare (oh I'm sorry, did I forget to use the scare tactic buzzword "socialized" - so uneducated people automatically believe the spoonfed belief that "socialized" = "socialism" = "communism" omgwtf!).
Guess what, here's another voice who lives in a country with universal healthcare and every single point you mentioned above is an utter lie.
Stop listening to the phamaceutical and health insurance lobbyists who only have ONE thing on their mind... and it's NOT your health, but PROFIT!
Lastly, if you want to continue to spread your lies, I'm sure you have actual factual evidence to back up your assertations, right? Good luck finding those, they don't exist, because you're LYING!
