Like the Tax Code, socialized medicine will be used as a weapon too.
Social Security and Medicare will go broke unless the retiring baby boomers start dying a lot earlier than they have been. Rationing government health care will take care of that problem. More government power and fewer beneficiaries is a win/win for the collectivists.
I assert that that is the full intent and reason for implementing a socialist healthcare system -
to control people by granting and denying health care.
