I had occasion to deal with Canada’s single payer system via OHIP, Ontario’s medical provider. The closest thing to it I’ve ever experienced was going to a US post office when it’s moderately busy.
They had a singular lack of enthusiasm for their jobs, could care less if you knew it, sat around doing nothing as ‘patients’ waited in line and provided followup if it was absolutely convenient for them to do so.
I would say they treated you as an object rather than a person, but that wold be high praise. Your presence at the ‘clinic’ was resented.
You kind of summed it up right there. I will refine it.
SOCIALISM treats people like objects.
Now that is someone’s new great tagline.
