To: Be Careful
I am not sure what you mean?

Economics.

National health care is the unavoidable consequence of government force used in the health marketplace. No private organization can compete with the government.

When the government is the only provider they cannot possibly raise the funds necessary to treat everyone, so they must ration care and eventually cut expenditures to providers (read: pay doctors so little they are slaves).

To keep doctors working for the government, they will outlaw any medical service doctors render to other than the government. The good doctors will move offshore before the wall goes up or their license is pulled. Once out of the country while still in good standing, the Feds are screwed.

But don't worry, the quacks will stay and treat you until you die.

That’s not true in all cases. In the UKAnd other EU countries, private (Non-NHS) insurance, doctors and hospitals are readily available, much cheaper than in countries that don’t have national health care and offer anything from normal healthcare to catastrophic care.

In the UK, at least, not everyone uses the NHS, there is no requirement that you can only see ‘Government Doctors’, the private insurance market here is cheap because they have to compete, and drug companies can’t charge ridiculous prices for drugs to cover msrketing costs, another benefit is no stupid Cialis or any other drug, commercials on TV.

My employer provides private insurance here in the UK, we’ve honestly had no need to use it, as our local NHS does a good job. The onlt time I ever need it is for times I’m out of the UK, as any oither UK citizen or legal resident needs to provide for their healthcare when away from the UK, in most cases.
